I didn't see a guide anywhere on how to do this and it is quite simple so here you go :)
1) Buy a domain name - I recommend Name (http://www.name.com/) or Yahoo (http://smallbusiness-domain.com/yahoodomains?sbsid=google_yahoo_%241.99)
2) Buy web hosting - I recommend Dual rack (http://www.dualrack.com/) or HostMID (http://www.hostmid.com/)
3) You now need to point your domain to your hosting name servers, You can find out
what your servers name servers are by checking the welcome e-mail or searching google.
4) Go into your hosting cpanel (usually yourdomain.com/cpanel) and click on "sub-domains"
5) Enter "logon" in the sub domain field, and the Document root field will auto fill. Click create
6) Now click on "manage redirection" , Leave that tab open and go to whatismyip.com ,
Copy your IP and paste it into the redirection field and click save.
7) Go to your hosts file (usually C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc/hosts) and open it with notepad, Add the line of text below - (Change the text according to what your domain name and sub domain name is)
127.0.0.1 logon.yourserverdomain.com - Save and close the file.
8) You now need to change your realms.conf file (Arcemu) or realmlist table (MaNGOS)
Arcemu:
Open "realms.conf" Find the text below, and make yours look similar but using YOUR info.
<Realm1 Name = "YOUR SERVER NAME"
Address = "logon.YOURDOMAIN.com:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
colour="1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "26">
MaNGOS:
Open your favourite database editing program (SQLyog,Navicat) ,
Go in your auth database and find the "realmlist" table - edit the address table to "logon.YOURSITE.COM"
9) CONCLUSION: You have now successfully configured your own custom realmlist!
