Many of the servers you might play on are dedicated servers, which are set up differently than your computer when you host at home.
On a dedicated server, none of the players in the game plays from the server– they all connect to the server from their own computers. The server is usually owned by a company that rents servers to groups or individuals.
When a dedicated server is set up it usually has a map rotation set up by the person or persons who rent the server. I think there is a special program to set up the rotation and the various preferences.
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can switch maps and preferences without losing the connection with the other players unless you set up a dedicated server.
Check here for info on setting up a dedicated server.
Oh, and welcome to the Maw.
