I've set up openfire successfully in my home pc (vm) and it can be connected to from any where over internet.
But, using home pc as a chat server is not at all convenient and hence I am looking for alternatives.
Is it possible to install openfire on a shared hosting service say of this kind OR it needs a VPS to install openfire like this.
In each of the cases, what are the pros-and-cons ?
It works on Shared hosting, but it is not recommended. Most of the shared hosting companies have already built-in tools to limit your access to server resources and you will observe poor performance on shared hosting.
I will recommend to install OpenFire on an ideal hosting combination like LiteSpeed Web Server, SSD Hosting and CloudFlare OS ...
VPS like this will give ultimate performance with minimum hardware resources.

I am developing an application that needs to be delivered as following:
PWA application server(Host app/IIS) is installed in the local network
PWA should support offline
Domain SSL not possible on the server as it's not a domain
Un attended installation
No configuration should be forced on the client machine, to change chrome settings etc.
I have tried:
Running from VS, Only works on same machine by design
Published to IIS and tried, works ok on the same machine. Offline does not work on mobile
Self sign SSL is not helping, Offline does not work
One option I found is to host it on our server on the internet, after installation access data from intranet server. Not yet tried this.
Looks like it is impossible to deploy PWA as intranet application with self-sign SSL. Am I missing something ?
Is there a way to automate deployment of PWA with self-sign that supports offline working?
I'm new to web back-end and about to deploy a website(with both backend and frontend). As far as I know, If you own a server, you can install whatever software you want. But how about when you have a free hosting, is it possible for you to install softwares like Tomcat, Mysql,etc yourself.
Ps: as far as I know, hosting is a folder inside a server, so in my opinion, you'll depend on the server which contains the hosting. Still I get confused.
I highly appreciate you all for spending time read this post.
Hosting is just deploying your applications and then serve them to the internet. If you are using free hosting, I suppose that they must be managed service which mean you cannot do anything except the functions the hosting provider provide. In my opinion, it is better to get your own vps if you want to control your server fully. You can just install software you want in ubuntu or other supported os, and then serve your port to public. If you would like to try, you can use some cheap vps provider first like Contabo VPS.
I have bought a VDS (Virtual Dedicated Server) that Windows Server 2008 is installed on it. I needed to use server because I have developed a C# console application that can read data by TCP socket and write them in the MySQL database.
Now I need to start a website on this server. I think WAMP server is so easy for me.
Maybe in future a lot of people visit my website.
Is it a good idea to use WAMP server as a web server?
In principal there is nothing wrong with using WAMPServer as a LIVE webserver.
However, not the out of the box version.
Out of the box WAMPServer and XAMPP for that matter expect to be used as a single seat developer tool and while that is great for a click and go solution to get a developer up and running on Apache/MySQL and PHP in a few minutes it is not secure enough to be considered as a LIVE web facing webserver.
Now if you have the knowledge and experience to create an user account on Windows Server that has access to only what Apache needs to do its work, and can get Apache to run in that account instead of its default account (which has way to many privilages for a live server) and are prepared to explore all the Apache security features/modules that would be required for a web facing server then it is possible. However this is not a trivial task, and any mistakes or ommissions will leave your server open to the simplest of hacks.
In short, unless you really know what you are doing with Windows Server and Apache, you would be far better to pay for a professionally configured and managed web server environment.
I want to know sites which can allow me to deploy my jboss server and mysql. I am looking for very cheap rates. I also came across sites like godaddy.com which offer very cheap web hosting plans. But do they really allow you to host your jboss application server. if not where can I go.
You can also check Super Java Host at http://www.superjavahost.com
They look pretty cheap...

Is there any way to run the mongoDB in goddady or any other hosting websites except for mongoHQ and so on?
and if I use mongoHQ , is that safe for the data and fast ?
I'm right now using it in the localhost server as a windows service .
If you want to run software like MongoDB in a web environment, you'll need a Virtual Private Server (VPS). This is like having an entire machine that you can install anything on and do anything with. The downside is that you have to install and configure all the software on it, including backups and disaster recovery, which a shared host will usually do for you instead. The upside is that you have more system resources, so you can do more, and you can install any software you want, so you have more flexibility. My personal recommendation is Linode or Amazon EC2.
Shared hosting services generally don't allow you to install your own services, so you'll have to use what they provide for you. Most provide an RDBMS, like MySQL, but there aren't many providing MongoDB for you.
Just to chime in because I was wondering the same thing and came across this when I searched skynet, mLab. They have standard pricing for hosting a mongoDB setup and deployment as well as a free version for dev work.
