faller-magie Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 My question is probably stupid but... can IHS host the website of my game too ? Or this will bring some bandwidth issues ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 No, sorry, webhosting is not a service I want to get into. There are thousands of companies that already do it, and they are doing it cheaper and better than I could.  I’m offering Intersect hosting because it isn’t offered by anyone else. faller-magie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 IHS Services will go down for a few hours between Nov. 22-25 while we upgrade our servers!  I will update this thread with the exact timing as soon as I know more. Please plan accordingly, and we apologize for the inconvenience!

jcsnider Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Dashplant said: Pls I need a small baby server again  Updated the stock, we actually have plenty of slots available.  Also, after the B5 launch my services will be upgraded to provide MySQL databases automatically and secure/encrypted connections to server api ports via ssl.  Prices for all tiers will be rising a little bit after those changes are live to make hosting these games a little more manageable.  Purchase your server at the lower prices now and you will retain the current/cheaper rates even after access to the new features are live as a reward for being loyal customers and helping this service take off.

AccurateNoodle Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If my game is somewhat successful I will 100% use your services! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 My services have been updated and are ready to support B5! The upgrade process is still manual, and the easiest route is to download your server via the control panel, do the migration on your local machine, and upload the migrated server to my platform.  If you have any trouble please let me know, I'm happy to help!

feder Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Really nice, I might use this in future. I wonder how much players it can handle at the time. I saw games like orake 2D using deticated server for 70 usd per month to hold 10 players lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Orake is very different from Intersect. Orake was based in vb6. Vb6 apps only use a single thread. They probably had a dedicated sever with a good cpu with many cores (like all PCs these days) and Orake could only ulilize one of them. Things have changed a lot since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feder Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 so this means intersect engine can use cheaper servers with less requirements and get good quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Which is counter intuitive and really messed up!)  feder and Zetasis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelFox Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Now, does this offer extend to modifications once the source code is released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Yes, modified versions of the server will work with my service.  It is important to note though that your server will NOT run well if the modifications made are terribly inefficient  PixelFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupilo Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Hello,  I wanted to host my game on your EU servers but I just saw that they are not avaible now.  Is it wort it to host my game on your NA servers although my players live in France? 100ms would be OK for us.  Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 I’d recommend trying our demo game that is hosted using this service to get the best idea on how it will perform and what ping you’ll receive. https://www.ascensiongamedev.com/files/category/17-downloads/  I have others in Europe hosting their games using my NA service and I haven’t heard any complaints thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I purchased the $5 package recently. Is there any tutorial available to explain what files to upload from my local machine to the host? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcsnider Posted July 23, 2019 Author Share Posted July 23, 2019 Only files you need to upload are your config.json, playerdata.db, gamedata.db from your server/resources folder into the resources folder within the hosting panel.  Be sure to shut down the hosted server before deleting and replacing those files.  When the server boots your local game data will be live ^^ Ainz Ooal Gown, Sweet Candy and Slayer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
