Alright, so here's the situation. My partner and I wanted to upgrade to a paid host, which {Host A} didn't support. We tried changing hosts and ended up with some problems. Keep in mind we used the EXACT same server on all 3 hosts via FTP, and also that changing User File permissions didn't change a thing. Here's the outcome:
{Host A}: Free - like other free servers, have to renew every day. Didn't have an option to upgrade. The server ran just fine on this service.
{Host B}: ~$3.50 a month - User file saving/loading with Y_ini stopped working.
{Host C}: ~$1.20 a month - User file saving and OnDialogResponse stopped working.
At this rate, we have no idea what to do. The paid hosting is being outperformed by a free host.
What we're looking for:
A paid hosting service under $4 a month that:
-makes our server work correctly
-has an easy to use Control Panel
-has helpful staff
-website colors that don't hurt your eyes
-has servers hosted from the US or surrounding areas
We really aren't asking for much, just that our server works correctly.
What we're NOT looking for:
-conversion to MySql
-hosting advertisements
-lectures on why we should convert to MySql
-hosts that want a quick buck from us without knowing if they will fix the issue
-people saying that the issue is in our script, and not the host, because the script works fine
Conclusion:
Everything works fine running the server locally, or on {Host A}. If you know how to fix the issues we are having without switching to a new host, speak up. Also know that everything in our server is up to date, except Streamer. Yes, we use an old version of streamer so that we don't have to add the last parameter to all 500+ objects in our server. Thanks for reading.
