Windows 10: Host a game server on a website

im trying to setup a minecraft server to be hosted on my github page. How do i do this??? Please i need help with this

:)

 

Dedicated Server Host

I would contact Digital Ocean before implementing a game server on a droplet. Because it is still shared hosting, this is basically built for websites and applications. FYI, they are a new company and I would read the reviews for them because I have seen several times people have lost their data due to their "SSD" solutions.

I would suggest to price match your best out of dedicated game server hosting, don't try to use a web hosting company. Because you will max out the shared resources when the server is full.

 

Dedicated Server Host

I tried out digital ocean and had alot of trouble getting their ubuntu install to cooperate so I canceled and they refunded me. Their customer support was quick and courteous, but because they were "an unmanaged server provider" he kept sending me links to forum threads rather than answering questions. But I give him an A for effort.

I currently switched over to Looking for best VPS Hosting With SSD & DDoS Protection?

Using the 30gb ssd, 2gb of ram option they offer for $25. (and uses windows server which I'm much more well versed in.)

I'll be hosting a starbound server to see how it handles games like that once they get around to forwarding the port for me. (unless theirs a spot for me to do that myself that I can't seem to find on any cpanels)

 

What is the best host for websites and forums ?

tech site. don't know anything about server admin skills. but somebody else will do that.

i will be taking care of phpBB forum. website will be wordpress based. as you can see, trying to keep the cost down by using free alternatives, like wp and phpBB. So the planet and softlayer may be unfeasible right now. What others would you suggest in the meantime ?

Don't know what other CMS to use.
