Free webserver for online game

by Wayne Taylor · in General Discussion · 02/22/2008 (4:17 am) · 9 replies

Hi,

I am willing to offer a webserver for a current beta test or game ready for testing for a online game. the webserver is a dual core 2gig RAM 400gig HDD 100mb/sec dedicated bandwith. this servers value is about $900/month. i will offer this for free for the right game. cpanel is installed for the web interface and this is ideal for games just about to go live on the web. i will help with the install and setup of the server along with any other way i can help. There is room to exspand the server and add servers in future. i also have possible money for investment in the future.

please email me or respond here for any question or comments. look forward to hearing from you

in return i would like DEV status and help learning over time. i currently program and use torque software.

To be honest, this isn't really much of an offering. Time, discipline, and competency are the big shortcomings in hobbyist and indie game development. While the use of a server is a nice offer, the last thing mention, "help learning over time" would probably be earned quite rapidly by joining a project and volunteering for the more menial tasks, even if those are just cleaning up the code formatting and tidying up the project.

I believe my skills are best used with servers and helping. this i think may be the best way i can help back

I think "with servers and helping" could use some clarification. Are you familiar with running a Torque server in Linux or Windows? Can you program in C++? A lot of projects here that would need a server also need some database interaction. Either way, tell people a bit about yourself.

I run a webhosting company and have been in IT for almost 10 years my main strengths are in networking and server setup and config. i have basic knolage of the ogre and torque engines with basic c++ to be honest programing is not my strong point however setting up servers, applications, security, websites, networking, load management, database management and business end of things. i have had previous exsperience in assisting development of 2 (2d) games previously. My wifes a graphic designer who can always lend a hand as well. With webhosting i also have design exsperience however im totally colour blind (black and white only) but will do my best. want any more information let me know im sure i missed something.

I also have several exspensive development licences and up to 100thousand dollars i could invest for the right game
