Wolfire Games Forums

I just heard from a teacher that he plans to pay a quick visit the school sometime this week, so he'd have a chance to put the site up then. So the site might actually go up to the school servers as originally planned. Knock the wood...

Best place to host game files would be moddb, no question. Mediafire has annoying ads everywhere and sometimes doesn't work. As for hosting the site, well, I use Pruhosting and it seems already to be a lot faster than Worpress.org. Haven't used any other servers though so I couldn't tell you

Only thing that I'm concerned of is the 12 MB file size limit. That might be a problem.

I highly recommend hosting the game on filefront.com. You'll have to find a different host for the site, however, and I'm not up to date on what the good free web hosts are.

I bought space from a webhotel with 10GB/month limit. It was only 33 € a year, and a domain was included, and it took just a couple of hours to get the site running after payment. The game is now up at http://www.goblinsgreed.com/goblinenglish.html, and I made a thread, but it looks like no one is interested.

Also, obviously the site was put up to school servers today. No news for a week, I ask one more time to make sure I won't be wasting the money, and STILL.
