Title: Migrate Ptokax to run on a web server.
Post by: Jaxx89 on 27 June, 2011, 17:22:35
Currently I am running Ptokax on my PC using Win7 OS. My net was down for a few days causing inconvenience to users.
Now I am planning to shift my Ptokax to host it on a web server.
The problem is that I have no idea how do go about it.

Can anyone please help me out with what am I supposed to do to host Ptokax on a Web server migrating my current ptokax with all scripts, settings and data

Thank you.

Web server is something that is hosting web sites... dc hub is not web site, so you can't run PtokaX on web server ::)
You need to look for real server (not limited to web only). I'm using Virtual Private Server (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_server) to host my hub (svn etc.) ::)

You will have to look for offers in your area to find out about prices. My linux root server thats hosting this (and other) website as an example costs ~45? per month. As i have root access to the server i could also run ptokax on it. Ok, mine is linux based but you can get them with windows server as well just that i prefer linux as a server.
