Best place to host your WebGL game

Archived Forums Questions & Answers

This is less of a unity question and more of a hosting question. Since DropBox does not allow game hosting, where should I host my webGL build? I’ve been looking for places and often people recommended GoogleDrive or Itch.io. Does anyone have any recommendations? Itch.io seems nice but I’m kind of wary of hosting my game with a company as that could lead to gray areas as to who owns the rights

I like https://itch.io/ too but… here is one not yet listed: https://simmer.io/

Thanks, Rocco here founder of simmer.io! I might add, that we do one thing, and we do it really well, and that's Unity WebGL games. Just drag and drop and fill out a quick form about your game. Thanks for the mention @rakkarage !

Unity does now let you publish to their Unity connect site directly through the Unity editor. You need to be logged in to see it under the Window menu, and you can push the build from there. It gives you a public URL to share or embed.

This is awesome. It seems to now be a package you install called "WebGL Publisher". Just tried it. Super quick and easy - though I wish it was more clear about the shareable link. Update - As of Late October 2020, WebGL Publisher package isn't available with Unity 2020. Works with Unity 2019.4 perfectly.

Also, as of April 2024, after installing the package a new tab called "Publish" is added where this option can be found.

Game jolt!
Kongregate!

Check them out.

Shouldn't you save a file then load it, can you load a file that hasn't been saved. I'm confused by your statement.

With Zip Site (https://zip.site) you can host your game on Dropbox, Google Drive or OneDrive for free. Super easy, don’t even have to create an account.

Just upload it to your own website. Job done.
.
If you have a WordPress site then get this: The WordPress For Unity Bridge | Integration | Unity Asset Store
.
One of the asset’s features is the ability to load a WebGL game on any page/post as simply as adding a shortcode where you want it to load. Boom! Instant free game hosting right there!
.

If you are using Visual Studio, it will have a little light bulb icon which will give you a fix or you can press alt + enter with the default shortcuts. You are missing; using UnityEngine.UI;
