Key Features to Look For

  • Low latency / edge locations (Cloudflare, Fastly, AWS CloudFront).
  • DDoS protection (included on Cloudflare, AWS Shield).
  • Auto-scaling (K8s, serverless, cloud VMs).
  • WebSocket / UDP support (critical for real-time multiplayer).
  • SSL / HTTPS auto (Let's Encrypt / managed certs).
  • 24/7 Support (if you're not ops-savvy).

Quick Start Recommendations

  • Static / Single-player WebGL: Cloudflare Pages (free, global CDN, Workers for API).
  • Node.js + Socket.io multiplayer: Railway or Render (simple deploy, websockets, $5–20).
  • Unity / Godot WebGL export: itch.io (free hosting + community) or Netlify.
  • Serious multiplayer backend: AWS GameLift or Agones on GKE (scalable, managed).

Match hosting to your architecture. Start simple, scale when needed.
