- Start hosting your games with linode.com/chriscourses and receive a $100 60-day credit.
Anything above $5 a month for hosting is too expensive. If you have two functioning hands and the will to sit down and learn the absolute basics of server management, you too can have a $5 per month server to host every single game in your untouched side projects folder.
I've been hosting my games and sites like this since 2016, way before I even knew what Linode was. If you're serious about upping your development skills and want to be able to produce multiplayer games in the future, this is the absolute first step you should take.

Pretty hype about having a sponsor, definitely some good motivation to make videos more consistently 😛
This must be one of the best explanations of how to deploy a [gaming] webapp out there. Well structured, concise, beginner-friendly. Seriously, GREAT job. 👍 Ever considered expanding it to include a node server for bidirectional real-time communication via websockets (utilizing a reverse proxy)?
Fantastic video! Thanks for creating and sharing.
Very informative tutorial
This is linode service is so cool. Thank you. I just signed up for the $5/month to try it out.
With the Microsoft Remote -SSH plugin for VScode, I can edit files on the linode server live through the SSH session.
Congratulations on 100k Chris!
Thank you Frank! Excited for when you hit the mark as well, it's def coming 👀
Apart from the tiny section where you were sitting over the command line this was awesome, nice job.
Woops, thought I got everything out of the way 😅 Appreciate the support nevertheless ♥
wdym, that was the best part
congrats on 100k subs!
Thank you Joao! Always appreciate the support for the OGs 🙏
Chris, I think it would be awesome a video regarding Docker and how we can create different containers for different projects stack. Just an idea (:
I second this!
Great content! Aspiring to do this types of web/ game development early next year. Currently studying your Pokémon game, it's top notch tutorial!
Is it possible to use the Ubuntu server if my computer is using Windows os? And thanks for the amazing tutorials!!
Hey Chris! Perhaps you can make a video tutorial on Installing encrypt SSL certificates when using Linode's VPS too. Your demo site is "up and running," as I'm sure you already know, but that "Not Secure" in the url is certainly non inviting. : - O Just a thought.
Hey Chris, I want to first and foremost say, thank you for creating such amazing video game content! I stumbled on your channel and was immediately blown away, leading me to these questions. With the video game tutorials you have available on your RUclips channel, do you think I would have enough knowledge to build a league of legends type game using only vanilla javascript, or would I need to know more such as unity or three.js? My dream is to build a discontinued game called infinite crisis which is a MOBA feel game. So, your advice on this question would mean the world!!! 🙏😁
It is definitely a lot of knowledge inside of Chris Courses. However, this is Chris knowledge, once you have the experience in building your own game then you will gain your own knowledge. Keep coding !!!!!
@@debynyhanbanks6273 Not going to lie that sounded like a riddle to me. However, I really appreciate you replying to my message. I just wanted my question answer regarding me being able to make moba games with javascript or do I need to know C# and unity. I'm currently a javascript developer, but never made a game in the language. So, I'm trying to get a shortcut answer to my question so I don't want anytime. Thank you @Debynyhan banks
@@kidbrave_7673 😂
Learn a game engine (unity,unreal) instead . It is very hard to develop those type of games from scratch without any game engine. learn a game engine then make a team and then work on your dream game. i don't think it is possible to develop a moba game like league of legend alone.
@@h989l Thank you bro for the reply back! I think you’re absolutely right learning a game engine. Haha, the moba game was very ambitious of me to want to do on my own. I think it’s possible, but would take I’m sure 10x longer. 🤣
I’m curious are you working currently as a game developer?
If your game is static front end like this I wouldn't set up a server. I host static games and other static content for free on my website (github pages + free cloudflare CDN), and there are plenty of other cheap options for this type of content. A small server is liable to get overrun by a sudden spike in traffic if your game suddenly goes viral and people start hammering your server, but a static host should easily be able to keep up.
That said, I am looking into server hosting for my next project (which will feature multiplayer, websockets, etc).
can you keep your code closed (private) on github pages? I thought you have to make the source code open to public...
Can do some React tutorials?
kool
Greate video, but you can do this at home for free using apache. It's hard to beat FREE!
saving effort/time to support beats free
@@klavistata everybody at some point needs to learn to wipe their backside, otherwise we would all be walking around with nappies.
@@omarsh82 i used to run arch linux and write my own docs. it was a fun passion project but i’d rather spend my time elsewhere now.
I'm amazed you had cash on hand for this video.
0:35 lol it's free by default
this is for the 1gb RAM shared VM, thats not cheap at all if you are just looking for a place to hang your hat, to run anything meaningful like a ecommerce shop you will need the 4GB $20/month and hope you dont need dedicated CPU
Not true, I’ve personally hosted plenty of bountiful e-commerce shops on both $5-10 servers. 4gb is overkill for making simple get requests.
