I bought a hosting and a domain in hostinger, then I started to develop an application with react, nodejs, Mysql and Express and at the time of doing the deploy I realized that hostinger does not support node js unless I buy a vps which at this time I can not afford
My mistake was not to look at the details of hostinger, I bought it without having noticed.
The application is simple, it consists of a blog where there is a login, add, delete and update posts. Is there a way to make it compatible with node js or some solution for this?
A solution that can allow me to host my site on hostinger

I am a Ruby on Rails developer. I specialise in Point of Sale Systems. Recently, one of my customers found a way to copy my app with the DB structure and shared the app amongst his friends(theft/piracy).
How can I safeguard my app from being copied/duplicated/stollen? Can I compile my rails app so as to hide the source code?
I was also thinking about use a MAC address as one of the app sessions. This any developer can take out of the code. I thought of not installing MySQL Workbench so as to hide DB Structure, but anyone can reinstall it. What can I do secure my Rails app?
You don't distribute it as an on premises solution. You offer it as SaaS, on your own servers or the cloud.
If they only have access through the browser, they don't have access to the code and cannot copy it.
If the app is running on something they have access to, it's already lost. You can try to mitigate it through a confidentiality agreement or other contract, but that is going to be difficult to prove and enforce.
Finally i completed my first full project using server, client, data
i would like to know few things about how to host and upload full website include(server ,react, mysql)
i so wondering how that is work, for now i understand that to upload a simple website you need a domain and to hosting, just do npm run build and upload it..., this is something that i know but, when that is not just a simple website like
when i have such as
server side with Node.js + express that have requests (on localhost) *probably need to change the localhost to something else but what
Database running with MySql
React app that have many request to (localhost)
how can i hosting all of them and running my website for everyone, i mean that my sql will still running, CRUD Data will update normal, and the server will still get request and send or update them to mysql data.
and if I'll want to make some change on mysql, server, client
i want to change it like i change it now
Actually i'm not a FullStack developer if i don’t know it... 🥶 so i really interesting to understand all of that issues
i hope you guys havק An understandable answer for me, thanks 🙏 and just take your time :)
Well, where to start hehe. There are a lot of different ways to host a web app. Heroku for example makes this process really simple.
Personally, I use Digital Ocean to host my apps. This is generally how that goes:
I have a project with a folder structure that seperates the server logic and the client logic.
Since you're using Node, you build your client with npm run build. Next make sure the dist/build folder is inside your server folder. That is the folder you are going to 'host'. On Digital Ocean, you make a new droplet (which basically is just a tiny part of a server).
You install Node, Git, Pm2 and (for example) Nginx. You clone your project from Github to the server and install all the dependencies.
You have to do a few configurations with nginx (specifying a domain name for example) to make everything work. This article goes into more detail about that.
Also, a database is frequently hosted seperately. You should read more about that.
If you have everything setup, you can just code on your project as usual. Push new updates to github, and pull in the changes on the server.
Here is another post on Stackoverflow talking about hosting MySql with react.
I'm not 100% sure if I'm on the correct section but i'll transfer the post once I know where it's supposed to be but I am looking for advice regarding web development, setting up a domain and hosting it.
I'm currently working on a personal project using Cloud9. Which is an online development environment where I can develop and host. The reason why I chose this is because it has MySQL usability as I retrieve and store data on the project I am working on.
I am now at the point where I want to get a domain and host a site to transfer my project over to a live website with my own domain which also has SQL/MySQL usability.
Any advice or where would be the best place to look up on methods of pursuing this?
Edit: I develop using PHP and JavaScript with MySQL
To start I would suggest heroku, they have a free option and some nice guides, depending on which server side language you use . This way you can get used to hosting some apps and doing deployments, seeing logs etc.
The database doesn't have to be on the same hosting necessarily, you can use mongolab for example.
For domain names it's a different thing, you will have to use the likes of godaddy
Why not setup your own VPS (Virtual Private Server)? There are many providers..
Design the software application with portability and avoid vendor lock-in to cloud services. For file transfer, there are FTP/FXP, zip/gzip, & version control standards like Git, CVS, SVN, etc. Use phpMyAdmin for the database export & import process to change web hosts. Otherwise, build a staging subdomain or a local development environment with copies of the original web app & use those to transfer files+DB to a new host for production.
I'm a college student and an amateur in web development. I've been working on a query system to query some foxpro database tables for this company I am interning in. I was asked to implement my project in their local server (running on Windows Server 2003) and I am not sure where to begin since this will be my first time working with a real server and I have almost zero knowledge about it.
The project was done with PHP, Javascript, mySQL and JQuery and is developed in XAMPP. It will be accessed by everyone on the office intranet. I need to set up mySQL database for the login as well.
1) Would it be better to do this on IIS or Apache?
2) I am aware that XAMPP is Apache, but if I implement my project on IIS, will there be any difference or will I need to change my codes?
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
The answer to this question is governed by
the tech your project uses.
your need to coexist with the other services on that company W2003 server.
If your project happens to be the first web app to be served from that server, just set up XAMPP, move your files and database to the server, and be done with it.
But it's unlikely. You need to talk to whomever set up the last web app on that server. It's possible to set up a server so some web pages are served by IIS and others by Apache, but then those pages need different port numbers. That will make things more confusing and less convenient for your users.
php/MySQL/odbc works fine on IIS if that's what you need to use. You may have to monkey around with protections and so forth to get it tweaked out. But it will perform just fine.
The take-home lesson for you as you develop this small scale web app is to build things like that to fit the intended production deployment environment. XAMPP is a popular and successful development setup PRECISELY BECAUSE there are approximately Avogadro's Number of $4-per-month Linux-Apache-MySQL-php hosting services in the world that are entirely compatible with it. But that's not your deployment target this time.
I've gotta use the inventory from quickbooks in my rails web app...it would be nice if I could get quickbooks to use mysql, as that way I could just use mysql between the app and quickbooks, which would make things easy.
Does anyone know how to get quickbooks to use mysql? Or will I be forced to have my app communicate directly with quickbooks, which I wanna avoid :P
There are a few ways of integrating with QuickBooks, but if it's a web application, your best bet is to use the QuickBooks Web Connector, or to use a commercial package for SQL access.
The Web Connector is the only Intuit-supported solution to integrating with QuickBooks from a web application. Basically, you build a SOAP server / Web Service which speaks a specific set of methods. The Web Connector then is installed on the machine running QuickBooks, and polls your web service asking "Hey, got anything for me to do?" Your web service can then respond with qbXML requests (examples of qbXML here: QuickBooks qbXML Examples) which tell the Web Connector "Add this customer: ..." or "Send me invoices which match: ..." or etc. etc. etc. The Web Connector then relays those requests to QuickBooks, QuickBooks processes them, and the response is relayed back to your web service. Your web service might then process the response somehow, and then send the next request over to the Web Connector. This can continue in a loop for as long as you like, continuing to send requests to QuickBooks and receiving the responses.
You might also look into AccessBooks and QODBC. Both are commercial wrappers around the QuickBooks qbXML SDK which allow direct SQL access to QuickBooks.
Here is some additional information on my QuickBooks Integration Wiki about how to integrate applications with QuickBooks.
You might also want to search around on Google. I know there were some QuickBooks Rails packages/gems out there somewhere, but last I looked it did not support the QuickBooks Web Connector. Instead, the Rails application had to be installed on the same machine as QuickBooks, and it communicated via COM.
Pretty sure you will have to interface with Quickbooks directly. The other problem is going to be that because Quickbooks is a client-side application you will need to have an app on the client that pushes the data to the server. It's definitely doable.
Alternatively, you could just use the export functions of Quickbooks to periodically export the inventory as CSV.
http://behindlogic.com provides a Rubygem (for sale) that will deal with all of the pains of QBXML for you, and an HTTP Connector for QuickBooks that allows you to send/receive messages with QuickBooks through HTTP, which opens the door for connecting from another computer. The gem has an adapter built to use the Connector as well, so you can very quickly get up and running with QuickBooks on Windows and your Rails app on Linux or on your development Mac.
EDIT: Unfortunately, the maintainer of Behind Logic and the gem mentioned above has passed away. I hate bringing this up, however it took me a while to figure out why the GitHub repo was inactive and the site had gone down.
We have been using the Web connector for a while now, and let me tell you its been pretty smooth so far. Though the Intuit Quickbooks SDK doesn't let you do wt exactly QB UI would let you. Problems occur especially when you want to enter group items to QB using the SDK. Use a webservice and let it build requests and process responses and push the required data to your database which can simply be anything from a SQL server to MySql/Oracle etc etc. Using this approach good amount of error handling can also be done.
