OperationPalioxis Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi im trying to find some where i can host my game for free, just for my alpha and beta testing for other users. Im happy to pay for hosting once the game has been released etc... does anyone know of a host that supports this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny696 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Use wamp, if its just for alpha testing, I doubt you need members for that, so that would be easier, for beta testing, you need members, but you wont find a good enough host for a game.

OperationPalioxis Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yh im running xammp at the moment locally so i can test the game etc... hmmm i was fearing that would be the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky3809 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 (edited) http://x10hosting.com/ is the only free host that i know of that allows game scripts on free hosting... If you do sign up for free hosting with them instead of waiting for it to get verify you can browse their forum and it will activate the hosting... after you activated it through your email... just a tip lol..

Danny696 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 x10hosting doesnt allow crons, therefore not making it suitable for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 x10hosting doesnt allow crons, therefore not making it suitable for a game. You can easily remove most the crons in McCode. For instance the one which updates the Jail and Hospital count every minute isn't needed. The rest you could replace with the timestamp cron conversions on here.

sniko Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Alpha testing is basically only testing types of data (as well as checking for errors); - Normal data (data that should be accepted) - Extreme data (data that is on either side (lowest/highest) of the boundary limits) - Erroneous data (data that should not be accepted) Your basically testing the code to see if it works, so no members are required. Beta testing would require members as you are giving the product to those who don't know how the code works, so you can gain an audience view on it, as well as them finding issues that you would have probably missed, as well as gaining feedback on things to advance on. Overall, you could use xampp/wamp for alpha and then purchase hosting for beta. -sniko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky3809 Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Well it could be used for testing though and you can always remove the crons and use time stamps there is a free mod on here from haunted dawg that works great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
