I'm afraid you're incorrect, Eriond - as I'm the primary editor/owner of Building Browsergames. Roxane was just interested in getting the word out.

firesnowball: what language is your game built in? The tools you're using will affect your hosting options - if you want to build your game with Ruby on Rails or Django, you're looking at something like dedicated hosting or a VPS, as most shared hosts tend not to offer the setup that you'll be looking for.

On the other hand, if you're building your game with PHP, virtually any shared host will do - how much are you looking to spend? Personally, I use Slicehost for all of my hosting needs, but they're a bit pricey($20 USD/month) if you're just starting out and don't know what you're doing. If all you need is a place to put your game, shared hosting should do you just fine.
