Cheap Hosting?

Questions & Answers
1

I have created a simple game in Unity which is basically just a shooter. I’m looking to expand the game hosting (Currently on the Free Photon Cloud) to a proper authoritative server for which I’d use SmartFox. However, when I do this I will need to consider hosting options and server rental because I can’t host one at home at all.

The game has between 10 and 20 concurrent users at once so the server only has to have a tiny amount of resources. I just need a simple way to put a SmartFox server application on a remote machine and install extensions as needed.

I’d appreciate it if anyone who has a good idea for one of these servers links it below. I have a very low budget simply because I’m only starting to create this game and not much bandwidth or resources are required… Though I have no idea how much the server will specifically use. All I know is that a 2ghz server with 512mb of ram is easily enough to power this.

I use this company to host my website and voice chat server:

Take a look at their vps-servers, they’re quite cheap and probably excactly what you’re looking for :slight_smile:

Check out Dreamhost. I’ve used them for YEARS. I’m pretty sure they have servers that allow you to do pretty much whatever you want - I only use mine for webhosting and some simple scripting. Let me know if you decide you like them I think I can get you a referral code for a discount.
