Few advices how to make your RP server work!

I'm a noob in coding, but I already have some advices you need to remember to make your darkrp/starwarsrp server successfully.
1. Use FTP. It's can be difficult to learnbut FTP gives you more access. So you can betterconfigure your server.
2. Remember, if you doing RP server, you need to do HUD and f4 first. It's not nessesary, but further work will be easier.
3.If you download leaked scripts, check the code. I believe the users of this site, but it's better to be safe. Hackers can leave a backdoor (i hope you understand) and use your trust.
4.Also you can use DS to try what you've done, but you need to have some open ports.
5.Edit LUA files carefully. One mistake and you will seek for this error for long time.
6. Be sure that your hostingcan reinstall your server at any moment. It's very useful option. but use it wisely. Don't use it if you don't check all the files carefully.

That's all my mistakes and these recommendations became from my own experience.
I will update this when I remember myotherproblems. Also if skilled coders can tell something useful, I ask you to do it. Your experience can be a fundament for other people, who want to learn something new.
I hope you learn something useful.Thank you for your attention.

Something to add. make sure you go with a quality server host. while hosting your server yourself, or buying the cheapest company is cost effective, ultimatly it will be your downfall. Self hosting requires an active internet connection and PC 100% of the time. if your internet cant handle the people connecting, you will experience heavy lag on your end. Buying the cheapest host possible may seem like "What can be the bg difference" thinker, but there actually is. I personally recommend Crident networks, or GMC Hosting. both are inexpensive, cost effective, and give excellent servers for the price you pay. any company that charges by slots, is not one id personally recommend, but it's up to you.

Garry's mod community owning takes an investment, you cant cheap out, or you shouldnt own one at all

Thanks for all this information, i always find it hard to make a Garry's Mod RP Server. I keep messing up with the Hud, Scoreboard and Workshop items. And yes, i have looked up many tutorials and i still have the same problem, but its fine my friend is coming in 2 days and he will back me up with this GMod Military RP server.

Thanks for your tips but 80% people use some game servers like mtxserv or other.
