Identifying Servers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A server is identified by two properties: its IP address and its hostname.
An IP address is a 32-bit number represented in dot-decimal notation.
For example, "56.1.5.0" and "86.5.1.0" might be two IP addresses
you see in the game. A hostname is a label assigned to a server.
A server is identified by its hostname.
A hostname is a label assigned to a server.
A hostname will usually give you a general idea of what the server
is. For example, the company Nova Medical might have a server with
the hostname "nova-med".
Hostnames and IP addresses are unique. This means that if one
server has the IP address "1.1.1.1" and the hostname
"some-server", then no other server in the game can have that
IP address or that hostname.
Hostnames are unique. This means that if one
server has the the hostname "some-server", then no other server
in the game can have that that hostname.

either the IP address or the hostname of the server.
