    <p>I have created a small game in Java and I would like to add the ability for a player to publish his highscores online.</p> <p>I'm willing to write the server software myself (it's easy these days with Ruby Mongrel, or even C++). I just need to have some sort hosting. One solution that immediately comes to mind is <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Amazon EC2</a>. But that's kind of expensive for my needs. Since the requirements are very minimal (I don't even need a website, just a web service) I think there may be a cheaper solution out there.</p> <p>Does anyone know of a free or cheap provider for this kind of thing?</p> <h3>Update</h3> <p>For those interested, this is solution I came up with:</p> <ul> <li>a <a href="http://www.slicehost.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SliceHost</a></li> <li>purchased a domain name</li> <li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/stacked-crooked/source/browse/#svn/trunk/PlayGroundCpp/HighScoreServer/src" rel="nofollow noreferrer">C++ HTTP server</a> <ul> <li>built upon the <a href="http://pocoproject.org/docs/Poco.Net.HTTPServer.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Poco HTTPServer</a></li> <li>uses SQLite database via <a href="http://pocoproject.org/blog/?p=24" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Poco Data</a></li> </ul></li> <li>Server implements a REST API supporting <ul> <li>High Score table <ul> <li><a href="http://stacked-crooked.com/hs" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/hs</a> content type deduced from accept header</li> <li><a href="http://stacked-crooked.com/hs.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/hs.xml</a> forces xml</li> <li><a href="http://stacked-crooked.com/hs.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/hs.txt</a> forces plain text</li> </ul></li> <li><a href="http://stacked-crooked.com/hs/add" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/hs/add</a> html form, does a POST using XMLHttpRequest</li> <li><a href="http://stacked-crooked.com/hof" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/hof</a> Hall of Fame, content type deduced from accept header <ul> <li><a href="http://stacked-crooked.com/hof.txt" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/hof.txt</a> forces plain text</li> <li><a href="http://stacked-crooked.com/hof.xml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">/hof.xml</a> forces xml</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li>game: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/stacked-crooked/source/browse/trunk/PlayGround/Clojure/Tetris.clj" rel="nofollow noreferrer">my own Tetris clone</a> written in <a href="http://clojure.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Clojure</a></li> </ul>
