  Do you mean Global Internet Server or just LAN Server?

  It is extremely tricky (for me anyway...) to write a comprehensive guide that will apply to all attempts at server creation on all hardware setups by all skill levels of network knowledge. It "SHOULD" be easy....but it's not.
  
  The Host A Server tool was 'supposed' to bridge that gap, but it doesn't really.

  Both.
  Play with friends online and even LAN.
  Thank you.

  Are you trying to create a server at home behind a router?
  
  Have you registered for a global server with the AAPG team? You don't 'need' to, you can still run a server and have people join, but if you do, then you can get official scoring and I think listing in the server browser?
  
  To create a server at home, the Host A Server tool still has basic functionality to get a server up and running. You'll need to know how to open up the ports in your router via Port Forwarding or what have you.
  
  These are the ports I have open for my server on my laptop:
  
  7778 UDP
  7779 UDP
  7780 UDP
  8765 UDP
  8778 UDP
  9987 UDP
  27000 to 27030 TCP and UDP

  Yes.

  No.

  Ok.

  Where I can find the "Host A Server tool"?
  
  Thank you!

  No. When you click "PLAY" in Steam you get the choices for Play, Server or Editor...

  You haven't played this game a few days?
  Now you doesn't have those options, you go strait to Play.

  Edit: I see you are in this thread too, so I don't know.
  
  When I start the game now I got no options like I did before.

  
  Think positive thoughts,
  say positive words,
  do positive actions
  and the positive grows.
