From the system requirements for Windows Server 2008 (on wikipedia.org): Minimum: 512 MB RAM (may limit performance and some features) Recommended: 2 GB RAM or higher I'm going to have my website hosted on a Windows 2008 VPS and I was initially planning to use a hosting plan that gives 512 MB RAM (to save some money), but now I'm wor...
Hi folks, are there any free Team Foundation Server sites we can use for our private development? Please don't say CodePlex (which I love) because that means the code is all opensource. Lastly, I also understand that some people might raise the issue of having their private code hosted somewhere by people they do not know, etc.. so ple...
I I have just moved to a virtual server to host my websites and the service comes with Plesk and Virtuozzo. The documentation is pretty poor and I can find no books on the subject. Does anyone have a simple introduction to Plesk with an idea of what you can do, how you should do it etc. Specifically, I would like to set up a website with...
Does anyone have experience deploying GWT apps to EC2? If I were to install tomcat or apache on a ec2 instance, could I have users connect directly to a url pointing there? Would that be cost effective, or would java hosting services be best? Is there any downside to hosting the edge HTTP server on a regular hosting service and have t...
I have an idea for a web-based service. The implementation is very complex. There will be very few users, and the traffice will be fairly low, but the server-side code could require a lot of resources. Ideally I'd need to have as much control over the servers as possible. How should I arrange hosting for this, when it comes time to rele...
Most ASP.NET hosts give you a single website in IIS. Then, they let you set subfolders as applications. Are there any shared ASP.NET 3.5 hosts that give you multiple websites with a single account? I have several low traffic websites that don't use much bandwidth. ...
I want to try my hand at developing for the iPhone but I don't have an Intel-based Mac available to me; likewise, my budget doesn't include provisions for getting one anytime soon. I've tried messing around with winchain and that hasn't gone too well. I'm not interested in jail-breaking my phone and installing other tools for developin...
I'm investigating using hosted subversion for a new project at work and was wondering if anyone had any experiences they would share. I've personally used Beanstalk for small projects at home, but not with mulitple users or a large repository. What/who have you used? For what size/type of project? What was your experience? (Uptime, p...
I have made some changes to a site and need to re-host it as the current host is ceasing to exist. My client has received the following from the current host: "The best thing to tell them is that, due to the fact that we are withdrawing our service completely, we would look to fully transfer the web site address across to them rather t...
I'm a PHP developer and I've made something I want to push live. It requires memcache, and I'm expecting a fair amount of traffic, at least at launch, so I'd like it to be fast. I'm really awesome at programming, but when it comes to getting hosting stuff set-up (other than run-of-the-mill shared hosting) I lack experience. ...
Which linux non shared web hosting with shell account access are you using and would recommend? One of the requirements is that it is based on Linux, has access to (root?) shell account so I can install my own version of apache or tomcat or whatever to serve my web application. ...
I have looked on FaceBook Developer page and found that it's possible to create a FaceBook application, however this application must be hosted by you! I'm new, does any one have an experience on that? ...
We are using shared hosting and the follow features are disabled. file_uploads = Off allow_url_fopen = Off allow_url_include = Off We are unable to change hosting and need to figure out some workarounds. The hosting co is also not able/willing to enable these features. For example: We are calling 1 server from another in order to ge...
Hi, I am working on a small project with a few friends and need to set up a server to run our tools. I looked around at hosted solutions like Unfuddle but they don't provide a CI server. I am now considering buying a Linode and running the following on it: Mail : Apache JAMES CI : Hudson Wiki/Tracker...
I have a site that enables users to upload images which are then re-sized into 4 different sizes. I'm moving to a new host and I wondered what makes a good spec for handling this task - or should any server spec be able to handle this task. Should I look at more RAM or a better CPU etc... Images are currently restricted to 2mb but I'd ...

So far I've read some blog articles about cloud computing and services for hosting applications in the grid. If I'd wanted to have a web application running in the cloud for as little cost as possible, what would be the best solution? Let's assume the following configuration: J2EE web application Any free database (MySQL, PostgreSQ...
I'm working on a web-application and need to figure out the best way to host it. I'm looking to minimize "Total Cost of Ownership," but it's more important to keep hosting costs low than labor costs in my case. Potentially, some day, it will grow quite large (in terms of user-base) with heavy traffic but, of course, it will start out pr...
One of my clients is developing an ASP.NET application that will be dealing with large amounts of data. The initial size of their SQL Server database will be at least 5GB and could grow to 10GB within a year or so. Most web hosting companies we've looked at charge $5/month for every extra 50MB of database, after the first 1GB or 2GB. ...
