shouldn't eat up much of your bandwidth so if you have a server (windows) I can use for a few months for my game till I get some money. it'll help a lot. game is ready to go online now.


the game will be very similar to www.teampo2.com/crime-web/ except for PC.

He doesn't/cant leave his computer on 24/7?
He doesn't have a static ip and doesn't want to bother with a dns?
A home computer is not a good place to host a game server?
etc.

You can't run a php on a single thread in a webhost. You would have to run checks each time someone logs in like

if server_updated > 1 hour ago
updateplayers()
end if

Web hosting or a VPS?

Because there's a heck of a lot of free web hosting around, not so much with the VPS :wink:
