    I'm looking to host my multiplayer game on a server, my current version
    relies on the host's computer to handle the gameplay but I want this to be hosted on a server as having it hosted on the host's computer is pretty laggy.

    If you have any recommendations on how to do this please tell me so.

    Thanks,
    Me

    There are a lot of them: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud… I think that with Google Cloud the first one is free, so it would be a good starting point.

    Playflow is nice too. It has a free testing tier which is awesome, and it's backed by AWS.

    It gives you only 1 hour to test your server, do you think this is enough for launching the game to public?
    I don't think that is.
    playflow has no point at all.

    Very old thread, not sure if that has changed at all. You can also try Edgegap.
