Game studios

Websites for game studios.

A launch, a trailer at a showcase or a big patch sends players and press to your site, and a thread on Reddit or Discord can send more with no warning. The site points them to your store pages and the press kit, and it's cached ahead of each date so it stays up while they arrive.

What we look after

What a game studio website has to do.

Go live with the announcement

The game's page goes up at the minute the trailer premieres, after you've approved it on a private copy.

Send players to the store

Wishlist and buy buttons point to Steam, the console stores and itch.io. We check them when a store page moves or a new platform is added.

Serve the press kit

Screenshots, logos, trailers and fact sheets are big downloads. They come from a CDN, so a press rush doesn't slow the site.

Handle community traffic

A post on Reddit or a link in a big Discord can send a crowd with no warning. Pages are cached, bandwidth isn't billed, and we get an alert when the server starts to struggle.

Post patch notes

Your team posts patch notes and dev updates with their own logins, and the news page stays fast as the archive grows.

Age-check mature trailers

If a trailer needs an age check before it plays, we keep that check working on the site and on a phone.

What we often hear

What usually goes wrong.

  • The site went down during the showcase, right after the trailer ended with the web address.
  • The press kit is a zip file on a shared drive, and the link expired before launch.
  • The wishlist button still points to the old store page from before the name change.
  • The person who built the site moved to the engine team, and nobody else knows how it works.
A note from Ryan

The address at the end of the trailer

If a trailer ends with your web address, the site gets its rush in the minute after it plays. I'd want the page cached and tested well before the showcase, and I'd check whether the press kit downloads are coming off the web server. If they are, I move them to a CDN first.

Plans

How much do you want us to do?

Organizations like yours usually go on a Custom SLA, with response times and the terms written into the contract. Smaller sites can still use Managed.

Managed

$50 /mo

You already have a site and you update it yourself. We look after everything underneath it.

What we take care of
  • Plugin, theme and WordPress updates snapshot saved first
  • Server, PHP and database updates planned and tested by us
  • Backups twice a day verified and kept off-site for 30 days
  • Security and monitoring scanning with a firewall and alerts
  • Same-day replies from the developer who does the work
  • Regular email updates what we did, in plain English
  • Free migration we move it for you

We agree on the terms with you first.

Add-ons for either plan

Common questions

What people ask us.

Yes. We build the page on a private copy, you approve it, and it publishes at the minute you set. We plan the caching for that hour and watch the site while the showcase is on.

On the site, with the files served from a CDN. Press can find it from the menu, download what they need and read the fact sheet without writing to you. When a trailer or the key art changes, we swap the files.

Probably not. A small studio's site fits Managed at $50 a month, and a new site is quoted first at $95 an hour or a fixed price. A publisher or a larger studio with several titles and a partner's security questionnaire to answer goes on a Custom SLA.

No. We host the website. Game builds go out through the stores or your own launcher, and multiplayer servers run elsewhere. The site links to all of it.

What customers say.

Reviews from Trustpilot

A person could not find a better company for their internet needs. Customer service is number 1. Whenever we have an issue Ryan addresses the problem immediately no matter the time or day.
Cindy S.
Hosterr actually has a soul Hosterr is one of the few tech companies that I use that doesn't feel like it's trying to squeeze every last dollar out of you. It works well, easy to switch and the services are fair value for my. A great fit for my marketing agency digital environment

Great customer service! I have multiple websites hosted on Hosterr. Setup was seamless and super easy, customer service has always been fantastic and quick to respond. I've had 100% uptime with no issues. Would recommend Hosterr to anyone looking for a reliable webhost.

I use Hosterr for multiple websites. I recommend them to anyone who needs hosting! I have never had an issue with downtime and my sites are blazing fast. Also their customer service is unmatched, leagues better than GoDaddy.
