Hi to all,

Please guide me on affordable hosting plans for unity games (Web based and downloables). Hosting sites that offer no problem with the unity files or, at least, sites that has proven no problems using unity content.

Thank you in advance

Dreamhost.

I’ll second DreamHost. Great place to work with (www.dreamhost.com) and very reliable.

Use a coupon if you go with Dreamhost. You can buy a year of hosting for something like $2.50/month.

And files are files–there isn’t really such a thing as compatibility with Unity web files.

I don’t know if my experience is different, but GoDaddy breaks my Web players. (My hunch is that it thinks they’re HTML and is trying to inject ads into them. AFAICT their paid service doesn’t seem to be affected.)

Thank you to all for these quick response!!!

Dreamhost looks very good. How the coupons work? I saw $7.95/month (two years), where/how do you get the $2.50/month?

Thank you in advance

You really won’t regret going with Dreamhost. I know a shitton if thats a unit of measurement *shrug of people that use them.

I haven’t tried them yet, but I’ve had my eye on them for a while now. They look pretty awesome for that price. Plus a free domain name for life if you keep using their hosting.

dreamhost all the way, ive been with them for 3 years with 8 websites

Darn! I sure wish you guys had started this thread about a month ago. I just renewed with 11 and then learned they doubled my monthly fee… argh… :evil:

13

well every now and then dreamhost runs a campaign where you get a year of hosting for free, and all you pay for is the domain (which is how i got hooked) so $9.95 for the year :smile:
cant go wrong with that!

^^^^^

Truth.

Thank you to all, dreamhost is my choice.

I used web hosting buzz. Wasn’t a bad service and they are realy cheap. But I got a dreamhost acount a month or so ago and am working on moving everything over to it. Dreamhost is a dream, you won’t regret the choice to go with them :). Jeff

I’ve been following this discussion with interest, and dreamhost’s introductory price is very tempting. The full price isn’t bad either. My needs are not extreme, and I won’t even be selling anything from my website for the time being, so the occasional website downtime doesn’t freak me out.

Having said that, Dreamhost seems to have had some significant outages lately. Some bad luck, some growing pains certainly, plus a DOS attack. But some of their customers are complaining about lost emails. That to me is cause for alarm.

Is anyone who posted here about dreamhost having second thoughts this week? Has your email been 99.9% reliable? I was hoping to use them to host my website and handle my domain’s email, so that I wouldn’t be tied down to my ISP.

the dns went down the other day for an hour and a half, right when i was expecting an email, but i still received the email’s

I havent lost any data with dreamhost - ever.

the worst with email is when i turned spamassassin and it caught some of my email in the junk folder, so i didnt see it until i did some fishing.

if you ever have problems you can always go into #dreamhost on irc.freenode.net and there is always someone who can help you and go fix it for you.

Infact i had one time where i was complaining, they looked at my irc info, checked their website access logs and found my site and fixed it before i even finished complaining.

I’ve used Dreamhost exclusively for four years now and have yet to regret a single moment.

How’s the performance? I use two hosts – pair.com and godaddy.com (and I’m paid up for a long time in advance on both) but dreamhost sounds good (certainly a good replacement for godaddy, which I think kind of sucks).

That said, low prices have to come from somewhere.

godaddy.com is way cheaper than pair.com, but there’s no way I’d move my main site to godaddy.com – it is often slow and occasionally down. I can’t remember pair.com going down (I think it has once in five years that I’ve noticed) and it’s always pretty responsive.

I also get tech support within minutes from pair – even if it’s my own dumb fault (which it usually is).

Frankly, if your website makes you money (every software sale from my main site is a minimum $150) there’s no point in saving a few bucks a month.
