Game Hosting Options

Posted on | December 12, 2009 | No Comments

Yes – I like to focus on cheats, but I also have to admit that I enjoy launching websites too! And, if you are really good at finding cheats and want a way to share them with other gamers, then you may want a website of your own. So, if you have any interest in having your own site, you may be curious about the tricks I have learned over the past few years. Sure, my tricks go back more than a couple of years, but that would be back in the up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-b-a days.

Before you get moving on your content, it helps to get the nuts and bolts of your site figured out. Basically, the first step is picking a development platform to use. I would recommend starting out with an open source option. That way you won’t waste a bunch of money on a platform before you have your content and architecture developed.

A good option for a basic site on gaming cheats is Joomla. Joomla is a great content management system. It’s free. And, you can easily customize it so it looks however you want. Templates are easy to download and they are easy to build if you are familiar with css.

Regardless of platform, you will also need a place to put your website. You need a host. Major hosts like GoDaddy are great at spending money on marketing, but how do you know they are the best option out there?

I’d suggest you go here to get info on web hosting providers. They review the best of the best and you may be surprised to find out that it isn’t always the well known names that they find to be the best.

You’ll find reviews of dedicated server options as well as vps hosting alternatives. The dedicated servers will end up being pretty pricey so you should probably not start off with that level of host.

That’s all I have for now. My advice is to share your cheats with the world. Free information is the best way to go. And, it’s like karma. The next time you get stuck and need a little push forward in your game maybe you will be able to find someone else who has taken the time to launch their own site to share the info with you!
