The file "server.conf" contains most if not all toggle switches for the server. (make a new text file and rename it "server.conf" (conf being the extension).)

You just gotta copy the commands to make real ones. Remove the # (comments) to make the commands work.
You will need to copy all of this into a notepad file and rename it to this:
Server.conf
Place the file to where the server EXEs are.
If you want to keep it very simple, such as beginners hosting for the first time, you would want to have it setup like this:
-nexus nexus.stellarfrontier.net
-altnexus nexus.stellarfrontier.net
-port [NUMBER] *Insert your port number*
