Optional Steps for proper use.
Google Captcha (reCaptcha)
Personally i strong recomand you to use this feature, this will prevent spam (al most). You can get free sitekey&secretkey via google just singup there
and register you'r site.
Enable 'sendverification'
If you have an mail server, you can enable sendverification this will send account validation mail to users, to confirm his account.
Enable 'displaytos'
This will provide an link to ToS and Privacy Policy page, as you know, you store user's mail and IP, so you may need to enable this tow feature to warn users about store personal data.
Enable forgot
Some user can forgot this password, and you know... if they want account back they can do via own mail.
Mail server
If you need a mail server for windows / windows server , as free alternative i recommand you
SSL Certificate
As you known (or no) OpenNos use port 80, so you can't run apache on 80, as alternative you can replace http with https , for that we need a SSL Ceritificare, SSL use 443 port, not 80, so your users can type in brower "
" and will be displayed your register page, you can get a free ssl ceritificare at
as well this ceritificate work on mail server too.
