    Plan doesn't look bad.

    And just my own opinion: but if someone is needing hosting and wouldn't use your referral link if they go with slicehost, they need to be ashamed.

    You are giving us a free education on how to build a browser based game here, one that I find invaluable. So using your referral link should be a no brainer.

    Thanks slicematt - while everything's great thus far, if anything comes up I'll be sure to let you know.

    Rich: that's a fair opinion, but it tends to leave a bad taste in my mouth to just hand out a referral link - so I like to disclose what is(and isn't) a referral link in addition to giving a non-referral link for users who don't want to use a referral link.

    This plan was not too bad. I've heard that They are good hardly ever any downtime.

    I've now been with Slicehost since august, and have two 256 slices - they've
    been great, and I don't think that I've actually had to deal with any
    downtime at all that was their fault.

    I don't know about that Luke. I've heard from a fellow webmaster that he experienced a few times downtime for about 1 hour. That is frustrating you know?

    Do you know which datacenter he was in? My slice is in STL-B and hasn't had
    any downtime as a result of anything Slicehost did.

    My tastes are pretty mundane when it comes to web hosting:

    1. Must be Linux/Apache/MySql/PSP based
    2. Must have Fantastico and cPanel
    3. Must have good uptime and low latency
    4. Must cost less than $10 per month

    I'm going to check out slicehost and see how they compare. Thanks for the post.

    Slicehost isn't really what you're looking for - as virtually all your requirements other than #3 are shared hosting issues. :)

    Because having a slice is like having a dedicated server, Apache/MySQL/PSP(?) are up to you to install - along with Fantastico and cPanel.

    You're not going to find a Slice for under $20/month, either - although I can testify that the $20/month slice is more than enough for getting started.

    I've been a customer for over a year now. My review - good support, best bonus features on the market, and with the low price it is even better! A+

    Hey I want to know more on these games. How do these games work? How you people are making these games? It seems a lot of fun to me. Can anyone explain me the ideas? That will be a great help. Thanks for the post.
