[HELP] Setting up a v117 server

[Hyomin]

I have a few questions and I hope someone can answer or link me to guides as much as possible, thanks (:

-How do I make my server online and public without hamachi?

-I got a 16 GB VPS with extremely good specs, how can I make my server run from there? What do I have to install and what files I have to import there?

-How do I remove features, or add features into my server as such as NPCs?

-Can I rip wz files off other servers and put them into mine and play it? I don't mean to steal anything, but just playing it for fun myself.

-Does it matters if it's a windows 8 type windows server vps?
