    Hi there i own Greenlush web hosting. We currently host Online game Cubeisland and lots of arcade sites such as Golden gifs myspace profile games

    We can deffantly host your MMORPG no problem allthough we would have to speak about what sort of server your looking for, we do sell dedicated servers wich start from £60 a month, but around £90 with all the extentions to run an online game this would be 80GB dedicated space to you also 1TB Bandwith
    All though something you may be intrested in is a VPS, virtual private server. This would be for example 20GB webspace and 500GB Bandwith for around £40 a month. We would have to speak about the exact requirements for the game ect...

    Let me know, pm me or fill in the contact form on the website.

    you'dofer free osting wth those specifics? go home, man
    A warning to you, dream host has been known to be unreliable and a lot of players are going to leave if they can't play the game.

    The reason that I would offer free hosting is that I would consider a partnership, I am working on a gaming network and working togather could help both of us.

    I would suggest against Dreamhost for something like an MMORPG because MMORPG's require a lot of resources.
