Hello black hatters. And not haters :D

I would like to know a fast web hosting based on cpu because im running a game with MANY sql queries.

I haven't tried VPS in my life but i have heard that its faster than a web hosting.

For a fast web hosting, what would you recommend me?

Thanks
 
I personally thinks if you are running game related application at shared hosting, you will run into problems sooner or later, even if the hosting is fast enough, the I/O and processes might have a limit on that. Getting a VPS is a better choice.
 
DO, AWS.

Btw, if there's not many transactions, you could try to cache the SQL queries you mentioned about. That will save you lot's of headaches. Yii framework supports SQL query caching by default. Not sure what you are using, but if it's not something custom, chances are; that db caching will be available for your framework/cms too.
 
A cache isn't always the solution either, maybe you could work on your game logic. "MANY" sql queries is a bit questionable, usually for multiplayer games there is a headless server running in the backend (which requires a vps, but is a lot faster than sql, kinda like a webserver middleman). This webserver stores short-lasting data for example for a 1v1 match, or any match for that matter, and can easily scale up to many instances per "game" or whatever you're doing. Once the "game" ends, you query the database, and permanently update scores or whatever you need to do that is related to users.

I obviously have no idea what your game is about, or what framework you used, if you want you can share more. But a CPU-intensive VPS is not cheap at all... You could try out google cloud or aws (they have free plans up to 300$) if you want to test the waters.

Agreed. My reply was more sort of a general advice, as I don't have any idea what OP is cooking up. :)
Optimizing the queries (and when stuff goes to db.. also type of db..like nosql vs sql) has to be done to begin with.
 
My game is this: http://playboxo.com/ (try open it with firefox, its better)
its made by unity and currently im using a web hosting quite nice. But I don't know what will happen if 100 people will play at the same time, probably it will shut down
 
You definitely need a VPS for such website.
Operating a VPS is not Nuclear physics
I'm sure that you will find the right solution for your needs.

P.S: Nice looking game . Good luck with it :)

Is there any free vps so i can test it? I don't want to pay for something i may not use (and don't know)

P.S: Thanks! ;)

Well, most providers have a test drive (money back guarantee) for 7-15 days. Just look around ;)
