Sim Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 I will provide a link in my game for users to visit your site like a topsite where I reward them to visit as well as a link under a menu if you can host my crime-web online game since I no longer have a server. Quote
a_bertrand Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. 1) You need absolutely a windows host? (if yes why? are you using ASPx and not PHP?) 2) What are your usage requirements ? (Memory, HD space, Windows version, software installed) 3) How many users do you have? How many new users per day? 4) Will you pay something or you expect a free hosting? If you check a bit on internet you can either find windows VPS: http://www.nocster.net/vps.shtml?c=3&kw=windows%20vps http://www.xlhost.com/virtualprivateser ... 3wodunnCaQ Or windows shared hosting: http://www.lunarpages.com/windows-hosting/ Or even free windows hosting: http://www.freewindowshosting.org/ Now again, you should think why you want windows as hosting as normally it's more expensive.

POG1 Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. cannot VB connect to a Linux server?? Quote
a_bertrand Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. VB.NET can connect to PHP easily using a Web Service (SOAP). Quote

a_bertrand Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. BTW just to talk about my own experiences (not VB.NET but C# which is also .NET): The best server/client solution offered by .NET 2.0 is Remoting which is then encapsulated in the Windows Communication Foundation or (WCF) in .NET 3.5 which is basically an improvement over Remoting. Now... problems arrives from the fact that most PC are connect to Internet via a NAT (Network Address Translation) router or are behind some sort of firewall. Most of those prevent communication for odd ports, and for sure will prevent calls from the server to the PC. So only a subset of the .NET remoting will work or even not work at all. SOAP as it uses HTTP is normally supported (as long as you use the default port 80) and will not be blocked by firewalls or other things. However you will have troubles to have callbacks, and will need to implement pooling loops. Quote
Sim Posted March 10, 2009 Author Posted March 10, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. I did google. Problem is I can't afford my own VPS. ;\ Quote
John99 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. Theres loads of sites that do VPS lol Quote
a_bertrand Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. So I assume it's a new project, without any players, without any funds and you expect somebody to give you some space on a Windows server? Mmm... Beside the free hosting for windows, I don't see how you could get it. Quote
oxidati0n Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. I don't see how you cant negotiate with other hosters to get you up, but be ready to give up a fair bit of your money to them. If you can't invest, it's a huge gamble in long-term. Quote
Sim Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Re: Need a Windows Server!! Sponsor me. Server no longer needed. Crime-Web Online is back online. Quote
