Okay, I am utterly clueless on how this thing works.
I start it up and in the text secion I get and error saying
Welcome BYOND! (3.5 Beta Version 354.913)
Connecting to file://C:\Documents and Settings\Jonathan\Application Data\BYOND\MyHub\dantom\hostserver\host\host.dmb.
Error: failed to startup host in Dream Daemon.

I had changed the default port from 1025 (since my windows RPC Locator uses that port) to port 1030.

I go to create a new 'site' and for example:
Error: the following command failed: 'chown -R 1010: home/skyfirehost1/byond/'.
Error: failed to change ownership of files installed in home/skyfirehost1/. You should fix them manually.

In addition, I have no clue what to do after that.

Dantom.HostServer is for people with Unix-type servers to let lots of other people host games on it easily.

If you just want to host a game in windows, run the game, and click on the Host button in Dream Seeker.

oh...well that explains it =/

What if I want it to aut-start after it crashes?

What do you mean "crash"? As in the game crashes? Or you want to reboot? Or if there is a runtime error?

You could use DreamDeamon (sp?) To host on windows, though I have had problems in the past with it.

If there is a runtime error ^.^
