Web Server Requirements
To run GameSiteScript, you will need PHP and MySQL. GameSiteScript will work on any operating system, as long as PHP and MySQL are installed.
The core GameSiteScript files with no games/videos uses less than 1Mb of space. However, I still recommend you choose a host with a lot of disk space? Why? Games and videos take up a lot of space.
Each of our game packs takes up approximately 200Mb of disk space. Each video pack takes uses about 600Mb. An installation of GameSiteScript with all of our game/video packs and the high score add-on will use up about 11Gb of disk space.
If you're not sure if GSS will work on your host, e-mail me the details of your hosting plan and I'll let you know.
Recommended Web Hosts
Here are the web hosts we recommend. GameSiteScript works flawlessly on all of them. They also provide more than enough disk space and bandwidth for even the largest package with 4750+ files.
BlueHost
It costs $6.95/month, and there is no setup fee. You also get $100 in free advertising credits to market your site on Google and Yahoo's search engines, which will really help jumpstart traffic to your site. If you don't have a domain name for your site yet, when you sign up with BlueHost you get one for free. I've never seen their servers down. I highly recommend them.

HostGator
If you only want to run one website from this hosting account, click the link below, then select Shared Hosting, then choose the Hatchling plan. It has more than enough space and bandwidth to run GameSiteScript. It's only $8.95/month with a one-time $5 setup fee. If you want to run multiple websites from one account, choose the Baby/Baby Croc plan. This allows for unlimited domain names, has no setup fee, and is only $9.95/month, paid monthly. HostGator guarantees 99.9% uptime, and has a 30 day money back guarantee, so if you decide you don't want to host with them within the first month, you can get all of your money back. Why am I listing HostGator here if it seems BlueHost is better? If you sign up for one year of hosting and prepay it, it comes out to be a little bit cheaper. HostGator's servers also seem to be a little bit faster as well. Also, BlueHost doesn't offer a 30 day money back guarantee.
