Intro:
I'm currently trying (hopefully able to reach completion) to build a multiplayer game which the game is hosted by dedicated server purely made in C2. I'm at the stage which I'm able to build a system that hosted by a MASTERHOST (hosting the lobby of unlimited peers) , and the MASTERHOST are able to create SUBHOST to host a duel between 2 player. I'm as far as able to setup the SUBHOST (browser create new tab), and currently working on to get the 2 player to join the room created by the SUBHOST. (credit: much thanks to blackhornet tutorial on MP tictactoe )
Procrastination factor:
I've been reading the forum and saw Ashley's recommendation to create new tab if I want to create multiple host so that's why I went that way, but having zero knowledge about hosting a game made me miserable. As far as what I have researched, it seems the best way to create dedicated server by purely using C2 is to be able to control/use a web browser in a server. I can't find any webhosting that allows me to access via remote-desktop, most economical solution I managed to find is at least a VPS with remote-desktop enabled.
The question, tl;dr:
Any of you with experience using hosting service (webhost, VPS, dedicatedserver), please recommend me an economical one for testing and familiarization with hosting purposes, which are remote-desktop access enabled.
Please tell me if there are better ways to approach this case (running browser in server) with very minimal cost, or suggest a way if it is possible to run browser (creating new tab, issue command to it) without having to use remote desktop. I'm ruling out php, mysql whatsoever for now because I know nothing of it, but do tell me if it is important.
I hope you all can understand my question and please tell me if I understand things incorrectly.
