lazkeer Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hi, I was looking for free solutions to host my game in order to show them to publishers/sponsors? Do itch.io or Newgrounds work? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleGiantWorld Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi Lazkeer, sure newgrounds is free, you can also try kongregate.com and gamejolt.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But do you think it's alright to show that to possible publishers/sponsors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleGiantWorld Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 if it's for site-lock sponsorship it will be ok, but if it's for exclusive or primary, maybe it's not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is a site-lock sponsorship and primary? I only know non-exclusive or exclusive... And how could I show my games if I was after an exclusive sponsorship?

LittleGiantWorld Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 As far as I know non-exclusive is similar like site-lock sponsorship. For primary it's like exclusive sponsorship but you still can sell your game as a non-exclusive/ site-lock sponsorship for other sponsors. To keep the game for exclusive sponsorship, we usually use our own website and show our games. lazkeer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caymanbruce Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I host it on VPS. I will never host it on a free space because I have to concern with the security of the source code. But I haven't shown it to the publisher though. I am also interested to find a sponsor though. TheBoneJarmer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I too use a VPS to host things on. I pay like 10 euros a month for a pretty good service. Got everything I need including 400gb to place my stuff on.

Antriel Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 For simple static site hosting, amazon web services will cost few cents (literally). It's not even that difficult to setup. And if you didn't use it so far, it comes with pretty big free limits for the first year, i.e. basically free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobF Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I prefer DigitalOcean, but if you want an even cheaper VPS then vultr.com offers a small VPS for $2.50/month that should be good enough for demo purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petiiz Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm looking alternatives to host my HTML5 games too. Gamejolt let we create a Portfolio Site inside their portal with custom domain for free! They have a few templates but let we upload a custom static site too. if I'm not wrong we can hide the games from portal public turning the games only playable for who we send the link. The question is: may sponsors will care if the games are hosted at gamejolt? If the games are hidden from public the exclusive sponsorship must be fine since the public didn't see it yet. what do you think about? For me (as a beginner) looks like a nice tool for now.
