How to Choose Web Hosting for Your Game Website — Shared vs VPS vs Cloud

Running a game portal? Your hosting choice impacts everything.

What Game Sites Need

  • Fast delivery for large files
  • CDN for global players
  • Storage for game assets
  • SSL (mandatory)

Shared Hosting

Small sites under 50 games. Cheap, easy, limited.

VPS Hosting

Growing portals 50-500 games. Dedicated resources, full control.

Cloud Hosting

Large portals 500+ games. Auto-scaling, global edge.

Our recommendation: managed VPS with CDN for most game portals.
