where to begin

[eski2]

I was hoping to find a server which would let me solo all the way, but as far as I can tell, it's not currently an option... I assume they crash and burn quickly, but i've only got a short holiday and it would be nice to try. I have titanium and am trying to get SOF but there are no sellers in my country and shipping is expensive so it might be pointless.

I don't know what minilogin is but it sounded similar? I wanted to create a server if servers like this don't exist but i don't know SQL. I confess I'd much rather play a souped up version of some servers like "hidden forest" with customised gear and tasks! But beggers can't be choosers.

Is there a guide an absolute noob can follow e.g install this version of mysql, run this batch file, etc?
