What r the standard server specs u need ? Will your prototype run on a PHP-MySQL shared hosting ?
No on the PHP/MySQL shared hosting; you're going to need a server with a clean Linux install + root access (which you're going to need if you plan on running anything serious anyway). DigitalOcean has good servers that you can use at first, for example. 2 or 4 GB of RAM should be enough at first, but you want to pick something that you can scale up easily.
Moreover, as u have stated in the OP that u r responsible for a lot of PrimeDice and JustDice's hacks. Can u please get Stunna & Dooglus to confirm the same ?
I'm still trying, I sent both an email but neither has responded.
