So, you’ve started to develop applications, but you don’t know who to use for your website etc? Personally, I use a VPS from www.lcn.com. A VPS (Virtual Private Server) may be overkill for your needs, but if you’re serious about iPhone development, you’ll need one. If you’re creating and hosting your own achievement/leaderboard system, you’ll enjoy the flexibility of a VPS much more. You can also make it a lot more secure than shared hosting, and it’s much, much more reliable – especially with LCN.

I’ve used all sorts of different VPS providers – BurstNET, QualityServers, 123Systems – but in my opinion, none of them have lived up to expectations as LCN have. It’s probably to do with the fact that the server just works – i’ve had 0 downtime since I created a VPS with them 3 months ago. The same can’t be said at all for the other 3 providers i’ve used – there always seemed to be some sort of urgent maintenance, or moving between servers. They didn’t seem like stable companies (with the exception of BurstNET, where there’s just too many people on one node). With LCN, you’re paying around 6x the cost for an equivalent server, but you’re getting 1000x the stability and support. More
