Website Host

[EliteGamer687]

Hello, I am currently in the progress of making a network and wondered what the best web hosting is?

Enjin I don't really like as its too simple but xferno is a lot of money.

Anyone know any inbetween? So Advanced and affordable

Thanks

Enjin has a lot of features built in but there's free alternatives like namelessmc if I remember correctly. Depends on your needs

Yes it would.

Since you can pay a bit monthly you might as well go for Enjin (as it technically comes with web host) and get a custom theme as you said. You can find the theme for pretty cheap on the resources page.

Highly suggest against using Enjin. It's unprofessional in my opinion.

If you wanna stay 100% free:

1. 000webhost for hosting
2. Freenom for domain
3. MyBB for forums. They have some great themes!

It would be far easier to argue that 000webhost and a free domain is far more unprofessional than enjin.

The average player won't notice any of that. Especially if it's a top level domain and not a subdomain.

Also having your own web host, you can have a portal page too.

The average player would probably feel more accustomed to Enjin and I'm pretty sure 000webhost has advertisements on their free hosting these days. Not to mention the hack they had (database leaked with plain text passwords)... Wouldn't recommend using it.

Nah you can turn off the advertisements.

Also yea they used to be really insecure. Most people abandon them a long time ago. They were bought by Hostinger not too long ago and everything changed.
