What is?
Clan or Guild Hosting
A guild hosting or (more commonly) clan hosting service is a specialized type of web hosting service designed to support online gaming communities, generally referred to as guilds or clans. They vary from game server hosting in that the focus of such companies is to provide applications and communication tools outside of the gaming environments themselves.
Typical Features
The services typically offered by such a guild hosting or clan hosting service include:
- Public and/or private forums for members to communicate with each other, or other tools for communications such as instant messaging or chat servers.
- Tools for tracking the roster of characters that a player might have in an massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG).
- An application for scheduling and organizing raids, tournaments and other gaming events.
- Applications for tracking treasure, items, or points accrued toward redeeming treasure (often referred to as a Dragon Kill Points or DKP system).
