    Hello,

    There is many providers you can use for your project. Do you have any needs on Memory and Hard Drives ? how much Ram ? How much Space do you need?

    Hi,

    HDD shouldn't be an issue : anything above 100 GB.

    Memory again : above 4 - 6 GB should be fine.

    Need to go only with old proven hosting provider.

    Any help ?

    As i mentioned "Target Audience will be across: Asia Pacific, Europe and America's." , so location really doesn't matters much.

    Just need to go only with old proven hosting provider.

    Any advises ? Need to close deal today / tomorrow.

    With that sort of budget, you should be able to find one without any problems at all. Any decent USA location such as Chicago should work well for you.

    burstnet.eu has facilities in Manchester now. Solid reputation, great support. I've been using their datacenters in the US for years.

    How many concurrent people will you have playing the game at any one time? Also, where will the majority of your traffic be coming from? Asia Pacific? Europe, or America?

    If you have the budget, I would suggest having a server to serve Asia Pacific and another to serve Europe and America. When you are hosting a game, the last thing you want is to provide the users with a bad gaming experience.

    You have a decent budget, look for OVH they've got good servers especially their kimsufi range, within your budget.

    Thanks, which one do you suggest me to go for :

    http://www.burst.net/servers-la-100tb.shtml (100 TB)

    or

    http://www.burst.net/servers-la.shtml (Basic)

    There is huge cost difference and i am not able to make out.

    It will be small flash based game, and at a time approx. 50 - 80 people will be playing it. Traffic will be equal from all regions, would be difficult to buy and manage 2 servers.

    You should be fine with the second (servers-la) and not servers-la-100tb as your traffic requirement is only 500GB/m.
    Even the standard servers come with 5000GB/m so you'll have more than enough.

    Usually, network from Asia users is not as good as Eu or US based users, so you should consider US West coast servers to balance the traffic.

    mySQL and MS SQL are different products. Can you use mySQL? Or require MSSQL with paid license?

    Thanks, which will this be safe to go with ?
