Hosting recommendations ?

[jbs]

Im looking for a VPS to host my gameserver. Anyone has good recommendations ?

Just try searching, these threads come round fairly often.

They mostly all offer the same things at roughly the same price points, a quick bit of googling and you'll almost certainly find one good enough unless you have something really niche you need, which is unlikely.

If you have Node.js Server your can use Heroku. It is free for 5 applications.

Getting Started on Heroku with Node.js

Heroku supports:

• Node.js
• Ruby
• Java
• PHP
• Python
• Go

• Clojure

If you're on a super tight budget, you can't beat Heroku. (Free and tons of tutorials)

If you have a good budget, Amazon Web Services. (Pricey, but tons of features and a fair amount of tutorials.)

If you already know what you're doing and want cheap and fast performance, Digital Ocean. (Fairly cheap, but very few tutorials that aren't out date.)

I use Digital Ocean, but I wouldn't recommend them for beginners because the learning curve is much steeper. (But I can run a fast gaming server on them for $5 a month).

And there are others, but I'd say those 3 are the most popular. (And hence you would find the most online documentation for them.)

Hope that helps!
