The team at Disciple uses their most recent official MMORPG.com blog to discuss the different server set-ups available, which one they chose and why.
During the production of Disciple and in some previous ventures, I've gotten familiar with the pros and cons of several different types of hosting. I'm not going to share my opinions on specific hosting providers, but I do want to share my learnings on types of hosting and what we have found worked the best.
First, there are 4 main types of hosting that one considers:
- Shared
- Co-Located
- Dedicated
- Virtual/Cloud
Each of these has pros and cons, which I will cover.
