Title: Good webhost for a gmod loading screen or donation system?
Post by: SexyWalrus on March 30, 2015, 06:02:57 PM
I have been trying to find a good host so i can use my gmod loading screen on my server, I used x10 hosting and that one would show up on gmod as a error page that says to much memory being used (or something along those lines). Anyone have any ideas?

I would personally recommend Nuclear Fallout's webhosting (https://www.nfoservers.com/order-webhosting.php). Used them for a while, and never had any problem with them. The loading screen I made worked fine too.

I've never heard of such an error, and I'd say I'm pretty (or at least was) experienced with how web development works.

They claim you get unlimited space and bandwidth for free, but they don't tell you that you can only use so much memory.  Anything would really be an upgrade to that.  Get a host that offers a certain amount of space and bandwidth for free if you don't want to pay for it.  It's just a google search away.

This ^


Edit: Is anyone hosting server on Nitrous Networks and using website? I wonder if it's good for things such as loading screen or donation system. They're pretty cheap.

Free options
If your loading screen is just a static html page, consider using GitHub pages (https://pages.github.com/). GitHub is fast and quite reliable.

If you need a webhost that supports PHP, MySQL and other fancy stuff, take a look at HelioHost (http://www.heliohost.org/home/signup).

Paid options
Elpishost (http://www.elpishost.com/webhosting.html). Haven't used them. Heard great things about them.


If you're feeling adventurous, set up your own web server! It's a fun, educational and reliable way to host your websites. :P

• Ramnode (https://clientarea.ramnode.com/aff.php?aff=2188) starts at $15/year. They are my personal favourite. I use their servers to host all my websites and gameservers. They have a tutorial on how to set up your own web server (https://clientarea.ramnode.com/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=114) to get you started.

• Vultr (https://www.vultr.com/?ref=6815665) starts at $2.50/month. I mainly use their servers for testing. Their servers have great performance! They have an amazing tutorial on how to set up a web server (https://www.vultr.com/docs/how-to-install-apache-mysql-and-php-on-ubuntu) too.

DigitalOcean is pretty nice.  I've used them before with no problems.  Super easy to use.

... this thread was last replied to a week ago. That doesn't make it old.
