Buying Professional and reliable webhosting

    Hello,

    Over the past few years I have founded and run various successful online games. I already have another finished and plan on creating many more. I am therefore looking for web hosting which must have a good record for reliability and if possible, speed, as my games generally accumulate thousands of players, and as always, my aim is to further increase the numbers.

    I have had professional and long established relationships with my previous web hosting providers in the past and am in this for the 'long haul'.

    If you think you can satisfy the criteria mentioned above, please get in touch. Ideally I'd like the pricing, specifications, limits and any additional information of the server which can be provided.

    Thank you for your time,
    Lee.

    Hi,

    Are you looking for a shared account or vps/dedicated? What kind of game will you be running? What are your full specifications? And finally what is your budget?

    What prilep said! Are you looking for a VPS/Server, or shared web hosting?

    Let us know the specifications.
    i do not think that a shared hosting can suit your requirements.
    I suggest you a VPS!

    My games are browser based games. I'm not sure of the required processor speed and memory, but something that is able to cope with many hundreds to thousands of people using the server at once is a must.

    If you could PM me with VPS and shared hosting package prices, I'd be grateful. I have a lot of PMs to sift through from people offering webspace. Hopefully I'll have chosen the best one over the weekend.

    Cheers,
    Lee.

    A couple of things:

    1. No shared host can handle that. And if someone says they can then you will most likely loose your money.
    2. You will definitely need a HIGH end VPS for what you are looking for.

    Thanks Prilep.

    I'm now in the process of choosing the best VPS. Although, I am still looking for shared hosting for personal space :)

    No problem. Shared hosting is all around the net, so do your re-search before purchasing. Also when purchasing a VPS make sure it has good bandwidth because im sure your game consumes a lot of bandwidth.
