Mr 85

I think it's 2 grands => two thousands, but I can't be sure not being a native speaker and all...

Yes, two thousand dollars....which I feel is too much but oh well...what can ya do??

Wow that's excellent because the programmer is charging me over 2gs just to do all the extensive programming going into the game...which is probably too much, but what can I do ya know?

If you could make my game to my specifications in a timely manner, I would pay you lol

Yes, you can start with a free account at Xisto, you don't need to buy a server.If your site start beeing too much successful, your account will run out of network bandwidth limitations, you wil have to switch to a paid hosting, still here at Xisto.
Only when your site starts being really huge, so big that our servrers here cannot host it, you will have to buy your own server. However, I think that such a big success cannot be achieved before several years of constant success for your game.
So, my advice is, start small first and let's see how fast your site will grow.
You will see that the main problem is not the physical hardware, but the other things around it, mainly the network contract (for a big site you cannot use your own Internet connexion, you need a professional one) and the maintenance and the backups.

this server is good enough...BTW why do u say that you are creating a game if you aren't doing anything for it?
i am creating a game myself...and i'm getting help from all people i know for it(currently "pyost")...and if i make changes in it or create some new scripts i look into dozens of other scripts i have and "copy" and modify them
(i am currently debugging login script...)

I guess I say creating cuz I'm coming up with the idea's....I would love to have some help though, back in my day I was decent at HTML, now I'm not.

So you can host a text based game on most websites, you dont need to buy servers and computer hardware?

Hey I am in the process of creating a text based game (well I am paying a programmer because I'm an idiot)..(if anyone would like to help me create this game then that would be AWESOME and you will be PAID!!!!!!!!!!) Anyway I want to know what kind of servers and things I need, or what site is best for hosting a text based game where hundreds (if that many people signed up) of people can join and play!!
