Exclamation My online game (needing PHP and mySql) needs a host.

I was developing a mass-multiplayer online game in PHP using mySql for the database. I have been working on it for some time and have already created most of the basic functions such as fighting other players, upgrading weapons, and character creation.

It was being hosted by ledohost.com whom contacted me off this forum. However after being hosted by them for some time they were suspended from their servers for undisclosed reasons. Now I am in need of a PHP host with a mySql database.

In return for free hosting while i continue to DEVELOPE this game (meaning low bandwidth use) I will gladly place a link or banner on my site on high traffic page. In addition to that, I will place on my site a statement saying that I will offer anyone who is hosted by whomever is hosting me will receive a premium account (meaning more races, skills, weapons, etc).

If you are interested in this please email me at johncotton@softhome.net or contact me on AIM (maniac845).

Hi johncotton,
I hate to say it buddy, but you get what you pay for. We have a $15 / month account that is feature packed and would probably suite you nicely. If that is too rich for your blood, I know there are tons of other dirt cheap hosts out there, you just have to search for them and be willing to tolerate setbacks like this. Beware... even if you pay nothing for the account, it could wind up costing you more than if you just got on board with a decent web host from the beginning. I hope you didn't lose any data!

If you are just developing this software, but can't spare 10-15 bucks a month for some decent hosting, why not set up your site your own local machine? It's free and unlike your previous host, it won't get thrown out for 'undisclosed reasons'

Good luck in your search and let us know how it goes.

Well your right I certainly do need a reliable host. Im only 19 and dont have a credit card or checking account or nething. I would mail someone cash if they could go ahead and set up my account and if they dont get the check in 3-5 days...just cut it off. I wouldnt waste my time transferring the site if i wasnt good for it.
Ive really been pushing hard on getting ready to release this site and im very upset about this setback

John
