WEB HOSTS CONFIRMED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH PROMETHEUS
Paid Web Hosts
- GameSwitchers - Works great for Prometheus, with multiple locations available.
- NFOServers - Pretty cheap server hosting that is 100% compatible with Prometheus. Datacenters are only located in the US however.
- GoDaddy - Their Linux webhosting is confirmed to be 100% compatible with Prometheus, and Windows hosting works though may occasionally cause issues. Contact their support if you encounter errors.
- Avalanche hosting - Works well with Prometheus, but only UK hosting is available.
- Serenity Servers - Works well with Prometheus. All requirements are met.
Free Web Hosts
Please note that free web hosts are not recommended with Prometheus as they often are slow and lack some recommended security features their paid counterparts offer. Regardless, the following two hosting providers have been confirmed - as of now - to be working with Prometheus:
- HelioHost - Free and probably slow, but it works! Only US hosting is available.
- Hostinger -
Free and slow, but it works and even offers two free email addresses with your domain.UK hosting. It has been confirmed that Hostinger does not support remote connections on their free plan anymore.
Linux Hosting
If you have experience with Linux servers I'd suggest just getting a DigitalOcean droplet for $5 to run a webserver on. Though don't do this if you have no idea what you're doing.
How to check if your webserver supports Prometheus
Download the requirement checker and extract it on your webserver. Then visit the file called prometheus_check.php. It will now tell you if your PHP version can run Prometheus.
How to Install Prometheus on your Website
Website installation instructions found here
LUA REQUIREMENTS
Lua prerequisites / requirements
Nearly all Garry's Mod hosts will support Prometheus for in-game compatibility. So long as your host allows you to upload .dll files, you're good to go!
You'll require the MySQLoo module from here or the tMySQL module from here. We highly recommend Tmysql for the speed, security and multi-connection support.
