The heavyweight of the family. Where gamehoster is casual and ephemeral, userhoster is where real identity and long-term data live, the piece you add when a site needs people to sign in.
Real sign-up & login
Proper accounts with real authentication, hosted on your own server. A folder named for a domain becomes that members service.
Private member data
Each member gets their own long-term storage: the data they see when they log in, and only they can reach.
Public listings
Choose a slice to expose (profiles, directories, leaderboards) for the front of the site to show the world.
Members, done simply
Full accounts and ownership, without the sprawl. It does one job (people and their data) so the casual and realtime cases stay in their own services.
Long-term by design
Unlike a game session, a member and their data persist across visits. Log out, come back next week, and it's all still there.
Private and public sides
A clear split between what a member keeps to themselves and what the site is allowed to publish about them.
Part of the Localhoster family
Userhoster is one of a set of small, self-hosted services that all work the same way: a directory of domain folders, mirrored to your own server.
