What are you guys using for online High Score's

The options I see at the moment seem to be to either host them myself on a small domain some where , host them locally off my home computer or pay for some massive online service.

I would love to hear what you guys are all doing for this, I'm open to any suggestion.

So I'm gona start listing them as I find them

I have no real practical experience with it, but I tried Google Web Toolkit. You can make a free servlet there
and Requests were unlimited, Datastore Put Operations: unlimited, High Replication Data: 0.5 GB in 24h
It is about a year ago, so I'm not shure if it is still like this.

Back in the day there were no solutions except those you self hosted so for me if it comes down to it I'm sure I can knock something half decent together and self host, but I'm sure there must be more than a few people here who have already taken this on and solved it.

If you are targeting Android you can use their leader board stuff.

Looking for something that will work multi platform or more precisely platform in dependant .

I use my own web hosting solution with php and mysql on the server side. Works rock solid. I can share my code if you want to take a look? It's even somehow "secure" and cheat protected due to hashes.


Paul - Taiphoz(Posted 2015) [#8]
Yeah by all means share it, actually if you zip it I will link to it above for others to easily find, or does it have a repo on git ?

I'm still looking for others, I wrote one myself in asp years ago and then did a second in php back when I was using blitz2D but they were not all that secure and easily beaten with a quick peek at the source..

I wasn't really using my webspace so I let it die, this would give me a reason to buy some more hosting.
