Simply: Get the subdomain server.thefourwars.com from your registrar, then set the DNS Nameservers to point to the IP of the server. This way when you migrate you can simply leave the address for players and change the IP on the registrar site. This means players never need edit the server IP field.
If you need any help with anything technical or minecraft just ask me. Pref eMail or ingame.
Also - chat channels which I understand youre trying to implement
Possibly - I am thinking of creating a plugin that allows a mail system. Players can place items in another players mailbox (chest) that can only be withdrawn by the player who owns or who gave. Although dont bet on this yet :D
End.
