What is the right move for hosting? as you know, being indie means having your own “shop on the web”. Having a reliable webhosting is very important. I think that while in the beginning a shared hosting is ok, once you start to have several games out is very important to have your own dedicated server.
I strongly reccommend to avoid any VPS! I tried myself, and was really a bad experience! Site was always slow, had lot of problems, totally unreliable. I talked to several other author and webdesigner and everyone told me to avoid VPS like plague, so if you are so stubborn to get one, don’t complain once you’ll start to have problems π
Beside that, the price difference from a (good) VPS to a dedicated server is marginal and so really there’s no reason to save even 20-30$ a month (which is 1-2 sales) to have a website running badly. If you’re not ready for the big step, is better to just keep using a normal shared hosting, at least you save money ! :p
