Renting a server for game hosting without a plugin
Hi. I've been looking around for something without success. I'm attempting to make a small online based game (just for learning) and I'm wondering if someone knows if it's possible to rent a server and run your server build of the game on it and be able to store databases etc on it(the players health, weapons, inventory etc)
basically a empty server with decent specs and a good bandwidth I can place the server executable in, run it and it works without me having to spend time to understand ExitGames-Photon etc.
Thanks for your time.

What your describing doesn't sound easier than using photon. Photon has a free cloud you can access and its fairly easy to pick up, I had it running within a day. They have some very good tutorials.
Basically what you are asking for is a VPS (Virtual Private Server). Actual servers can run up to the $100s/month. VPS's are fairly cheap, but you will need to figure out what kind of OS you need first.
You can either get a Linux VPS or Windows VPS (Linux is much better in my honest opinion). You can check out 1and1 they have pretty good prices. Also, I don't have much experience with them but Amazon offers some pretty cheap prices as well (even per hour pricing.
