You can use www.drive.google.com if you game is single player for Facebook.

Look up Photon Networking (PUN) for short. www.exitgames.com or look into the Unity Networking (Still new) at least for the new networking. So there may be some bugs, idk. But Photon Definitely works great.

Define what exactly the server should be able to do and then try to ask the same question, the solution very much depends on what you want to achieve.

Yeah that is true, it could be meant in different ways I suppose.
I just assumed he meant game networking. But I didn’t really read read into it, just glanced at it and figured he meant what I said. But I can definitely see your point, it can be taken many different ways.

I jest need a way to host and store the game data and be able to handle alot of users playing it at the same time

Smart Fox Server is not for hosting files. It’s a software framework for server-side applications. You have to use it in conjunction with an actual server if you want to have it store data.

You want to be able to store turn data in a database?

GitHub - polytropoi/DataMangler: A simple user data management system for Unity games, built on the MEAN stack here’s an option, for MEAN stack. This looks like a clever solution if you’re friendly with Wordpress. You can also check out Parse.com and Playfab.com, etc…

But really, if you can do a bit of LAMP, you should just start here.

so i can just host it from my wordpress website and i can store player stat in any database

I dont need any type of game server to do that with

You don’t even need Wordpress. You simply need some form of hosting with PHP and MySQL support. You would then write a PHP script that takes the data passed to it by Unity and puts it into a database. There is an example script on the Wiki (with a link to how you communicate via Unity).
