| Jan 20, 2020 at 14:13 | comment | added | Charles Dake | The website makes a lot of use of GIS functions. I need to do computations on shp files for user interaction purposes. My system right now is to use python libraries. There are other functionalities like a Prolog program to compute logical relations between predicates in my tables. I would think that a virtual server could support this functionality. I am still attracted to the idea of being my own system administrator. I once worked as a system administrator on Linux server a while ago and enjoyed it (the software engineer was the 'real' system administrator though). | |
| Jan 20, 2020 at 5:32 | comment | added | grawity_u1686 | "My own webserver" does not imply having a whole physical server – the same can be done on a VM rented from some "cloud" hosting company (such as the popular Digital Ocean, Linode, etc.). Also, even specialized website-hosting plans which don't give direct server access still almost always include some amount of SQL database service. | |
| Jan 20, 2020 at 2:12 | comment | added | Charles Dake | The functionality of the website requires a database. I don't think I can use my database in the application unless I have my own webserver. Could you explain why a website from home is not advised? | |
