That domain name isn't even registered.
have I to choose The host name?

The domain has to resolve to the computer that is running the Shoddy Battle server. It can't just be arbitrary.
If you don't have a static IP address (or domain name) to use then have a look at No-Ip's Dynamic DNS service.
You need to tell Colin the hostname that your server can actually be reached on; the hostname is what someone can put into the Advanced connect box on the client to connect to your server.
It needs to be a globally accessible (ie not 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x or your local computer name) and, because you probably don't have a fixed external IP address, you need to use a domain name of your own (like shoddy.example.com), or a DynDNS service like the one I linked to above, that points to your server.
Basically, if you can set-up Java to use any random proxy server on the internet and still connect to your server then you have the right hostname.

Don't double post, especially not to quote yourself.
Also, your server doesn't work, likely due to incorrect firewall or router configuration. Once you get it working, send bearzly or I a PM with the information we will list it. Since the question about how to get it listed has been answer, it's not necessary for this thread to remain open.
