I'm developing on my main computer, which I use for everything. store private images, documents, and stuff.
But I'm going to show off my website for lets say a company.
Is is secure for me to link my ip-adress and make them take a look from there or should I upload it to a webhosting service first?
I don't want them to get access to my files on the computer. I know they can get html, css and javascript files. but is there something else I should worry about?
I'll try to provide you with the most information I can:
I'm behind a router which has port 80 open for the webserver?
Using W7, xampp, and I've F-secure installed.
Also I wonder because I've a stable 100/100 connection and I've no down-time in two years.. so I would like to skit my hosting service and redirect the domains to my computer instead.. is this safe or should I buy a seperate server running Ubuntu?
Sorry if I couldn't find the answers on my own.
well as long as you set up your webserver right you should be fine, but it`s probably for the best to buy a linux vps.
VPS' are cheap and it takes the toll off of your computer, plus you just eliminate any sort of personal information leak from the get-go.
I had good experience with:
http://www.linode.com/
http://www.strato-hosting.co.uk/
http://vpsville.ca/
I had bad experience with:
http://burst.net/
However, burstnet has cheap ips, but their nodes are very unstable.

Because of the outcome of another question I asked: Push or Local notifications alerting user to change between saved and remote data
I have decided to tackle Push Notifications head on. I don't, however, really know where to begin when buying a server. Once I start following tutorials and the like, I should be good to follow along relatively unchallenged, but I'd hate to buy a server not capable of running background processes, installing SSL certificates, and making outgoing TLS connections on certain ports (Those were the requirements on one tutorial). Could anyone recommend a company that offers servers at relatively cheap prices since I don't want to spend huge amounts on it, and have the correct specifications for push notifications. I live in the UK, but since I'm localising the app a couple of countries, would it be worth having the server in another country?
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
I would consider using a service like Urban Airship to start. https://go.urbanairship.com/accounts/register/
It'll be free until you are doing more than 1 million pushes a month and will save you the hassle of setting up a server.

My organization has created a Facebook tab but because our site is not SSL certified the tab only works on some computers. We will not be getting SSL certified any time soon. Is there a way to work around this?
Your question can be paraphrased as 'how can we show HTTPS content to our users without needing to serve HTTPS content' - it's not possible
It shouldn't be difficult to buy a certificate for your domain and install it to the server - costs $15-$100 for the cert depending on where you get it and a few minutes (or hours, i guess) to reconfigure a web server
Obviously if you've a complicated setup with firewalls and strict procedures and processes in the company this will take a lot longer than the few minutes it would take a single developer, but surely in that case not supporting SSL is also seen as a big problem since you'll lose a relatively large percentage of users
(source: It was >10% of users about a year ago - it's higher now.)

Apologies if this is the wrong site - not really sure which site is best for this, but since it's SMTP-related (or is it?), I figured maybe this site had the best audience.
My company just set all of our live servers to route email through Critsend (at a cost). Apparently we've had some people complain about emails going missing, and this service lets us track it better...
I was pretty shocked, and said "There's nothing they can possibly tell us, that we can't get from the SMTP server logs!". However, I was given a huge list of features they support, including this:
Spam folder statistics with addresses
Apparently, they can tell us how many (and which!) emails went into spam folders.
I've done a little SMTP in my time, and I'm certain there is no way to get this information. So, what are they doing to claim this feature? (Note: Sadly, I don't have any access to actually see one of these reports).

Besides impressing benchmarks,
does anyone really uses G-WAN web server?
(except of cource gwan.ch and trustleap.com)
G-WAN is a freeware, that means that people are not under the obligation of paying a license to use it for commercial purposes.
Having participated to write some of their code, I am aware of Web sites using G-WAN for different applications platforms:
auctions
advertising
yellow pages
social network
geographic maps
multimedia streaming
trading.
But this is merely my personal experience. I must say that G-WAN has allowed me to do things that could not be done with other servers like:
using cheap virtual servers where I would have had to use dedicated servers
using the same Web server to create applications in different languages
creating applications which rely on different programming languages
test code modifications without having to redeploy packages or modify configurations
-etc.
G-WAN, at least for me, has been a game-changer.
I do not understand the comment of "Virtualeyes" since my customers did not pay a dime to the G-WAN author. I just paid him 149 CHF, not because I was obliged to do it but rather because I wanted to thank him for the hard work.
By the way, that's Linus Torvalds, not "Linus Torvolds".

Message from wepage popups in my yahoo email account. I need to x the box several times to unfreeze my computer. Then, it keeps popping up. And this occcurs before I even open any mail. exact message: "message from webp, then hi, then 40401508, then 1"
Any suggestion to get ride of it?
Run any anti-virus or anti-malware utility of your choosing on your computer. Follow any instructions that it provides on how to clean and remove whatever cruft is causing this. There are lots of free versions available online, but you should consider purchasing a subscription to a well-regarded utility from a reputable company. These days, browsing the Internet without protection is just asking for trouble!
If that doesn't work, the next step is backing up your important data, erasing your computer's disk, and re-installing your operating system from scratch. It sounds drastic, but it's really not all that bad. Plus, it will fix any other problems you've been having and probably speed up your machine noticeably.
