Curt Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hey Everyone, I recently decided to begin looking for a new host for my game because it seems to go offline about once a week on the current host (Byethost) and they dont seem to know why or able fix the problem. I have the highest VPS pack available, and i figured that would be more than needed to run my game right now but it still goes offline so im going to be moving my games. Has anyone here every used byethost and hostgator ?....who would you say is better quality ? Im thinking about moving my games to Hostgator.com Also anyone have specs that a sever should have for the size of a website ?.... my game hasnt been growing much lately and i suspect the offline time to be playing a factor in this. Look forward to hearing from you guys, Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran-R Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I would highley reccomend HostGator. I have used them for about a week now, and they have been the fastest out of about 5 different hosting providers I have used. Ive not used byethost before, but I would asume that hostgator is better. If you look at the reviews on the net, they also say that HostGator has some extremely good VPS hosting. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 For VPS I use those: https://www.tektonic.net/virtual-servers.html Starts at less than 15$ per month (you must choose the smallest VPS to see it) and never had any issue (running since 2 years).

Curt Posted October 14, 2010 Author Share Posted October 14, 2010 Thanks Glucose and a_bertrand, I will look into tektonic.net now =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I've used both from time to time, for a game I would suggest Hostgator as Byethost is just incapable end of. However Hostgator has it's problems too I guess there just isn't that perfect hosting provider out there :P Good luck in your search :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrimeSuspect Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hostgator is good for vps solutions but not web game hosting i thnk.I mean hostgator doesnt allow to run cron job less than 15min. for web hosting packages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbas Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I would highly recommend Hostgator. They have a great service, and they offer great programs also. If you are in trouble and cannot decide as to what provider, go for hostgator. Very nice. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Evans Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I use byethost for my projects (example in building stage) although i would NEVER use them for the finished product due to issues with loading pages and other silly stuff they mess up.
