Hello,
I'm building an Android app, which is a multi-player game as follows:
Each client has its own friend list whom he can invite to play.
Assume 2 players are playing. Each one receive a few questions, and when they finish answering them they pass the answers between them.
I wrote the server side in Java on my local PC using GCM (Google Cloud Messging).
Now, the project is a pure Java app, so I could run it on my computer with no problems.
I'm looking for a host to run this code. I have been searching for 2 weeks now, and after looking into Google App Engine, Openshift, GODDADY and Amazon, I noticed they all support web-app, which is building a website.
I just can't see the connection between my need and what those services serve, so I believe there is something that I am missing.
How can I develop a server-side app for my android app and deploy it in a hosting server?
Should I use a web-app although there is no need for me for a website?
I would really appreciate a well described and detailed answer since I am really losing my mind here...
