Web Hosting News – Southampton, UK – PEER 1 Hosting the global online business hosting provider has today announced the launch of a dedicated smart-phone app hosting service, taking advantage of its peering relationships with mobile network operators. The company, which provides dedicated hosting solutions through ServerBeach, has assigned a specialist “Host My App” team tasked with supporting fast growth innovators who are developing smart-phone apps, to enable the potential explosion in popularity that successful apps attract

The whole “dedicated server” ballyhoo has brought the PC gaming community into an uproar with developers opting for internet matchmaking to release their games out faster.  Aliens Vs. Predator has matchmaking out of the box but developer Rebellion appears to have a change in plans for AVP as they are rolling out dedicated server support for the PC version very soon. Over at the Steam forums, a representative from Rebellion has confirmed a beta release with reduced functionality will be available in a few days.  Added features and the usual assortment of bug fixes will be released over the next few weeks.  If you’re interested in running a server, it will be under the “Tools” tab in the Steam client as a free download.

The Xbox Live has fallen far from the reputation it created during the launch and the latest complain came from the users of social networking site, twitter. The report arrived just few minutes from now and some of the games have been heavily hit as the result of this fall in performance. The MW2, the modern warfare 2 and call of duty are the worst affected games

So you like cool indie games, eh? Well we’ve got an announcement that is sure to peak your interest. You may remember a year or so ago we posted up word of an open beta for Plain Sight , a colorful multiplayer action game from developer Beatnik Games
