Do you need web hosting to publish game?

Hi,

I want to publish my game to my own personal website. I have a domain name on Namecheap. Can I put my game on my website? Or do I need to buy web hosting. I barely know anything about this. Only one or two people will play this game on my site, it's a personal game.

Thank you

I'm not an expert either, but web-based HTML5 games need to be uploaded to a web server. So if you have an actual website (and not just a domain name) then you should be fine. Alternately, you can "wrap" your games and give them out to your friends that way.

When I was first getting started with Construct 2 I uploaded my games to these two (FREE) sites:

http://www.freewebhostingarea.com/

Your site will be: [somename].orgfree.com

https://www.000webhost.com/

Your site will be: [somename].comli.com

It's pretty simple, you just Export to HTML5, put ALL the files in a .zip and then use cPanel to upload that .zip to your website!

It's a little bit technical, but very important to know if your web space doesn't work

So - yes - you can host your own game, but the web space needs a certain configuration.

6ft - You still need to have a webhost. A domain is only an address for your site but you still need a webhost for storage(webserver) and functionality.

You can also share your game on website like http://www.indiexpo.net, , itch. In this way you have both a free hosting both more views from players of this kind of videogames
