Game server?

so how will i make it open to public w/o paying?

There are free web hosts, they don't tend to be friendly to intensive scripts though. If your game is finished and polished though, you can try forming a partnership with an existing studio. Jatt is known to extend offers to projects that will offer him a positive ROI. And Indiepoint's premium service will be offering project hosting near the end of this year.

k cool thx. what about filefront? i was lookin at it but idk if its a game publishing site or not.

Its good for putting out files, they aren't going to host your web game for you I don't think.

My suggestion is, once you are done with your game, just find a commercial webhost (aka one that you pay for), and ask them if you can serve a browser-based game on it. You may have to look past the cheapest guys to find one that will let you run your game with no problems (basically, not the $1.99 a month guys). If you just try to sneak it on a free or cheap webhost, it will not take long before they figure out where the CPU is being eaten up when other web admins start complaining of performance issues (free and very cheap webhosts pack a lot more users on each server, thus offering less resources to each website). Then your game gets taken offline, and your users have no idea what is going on and leave to play another game. It is worth it to just pay the extra amount each month to have your game up and running constantly with no problems.

I recommend hosting with Jattenalle, he doesn't oversell.

for a web browser game a free web host is a terrible idea. You dont get paid for the ads and the connection is terrible.

Not to mention they are gonna pull you for being popular lol.
