I made a Web Program which runs perfect on my localhost.
Now I want to bring it in the App Store and Google Playstore.
I hope someone of you can give me a tip which Plattform I should use as a Server.
T thought about azure or firebase.
But by firebase i have to Change my whole code because of tht nosql and it is not really possbile to make dynmaic pages.
on azure I only can bring it on the Marketplace.
does anyone know other pltfforms?
Ionic / Cordova / Phongap / Appcelerator are all names to look up for building a hybrid app and distributing to app stores.
Amazon EC2 or RDS can host a database for you which the app can connect to, I'm sure there are many others.

I am going to upload my website by using hostgator. Is it possible OR IF Yes then please give me the solution.
read this
If you are not in really need for hostgator only, You can use
heroku or AWS (amazon web services) or digital ocean platforms to host your application and their documentations are very easy to understand by reading
try them if yor are interested
here for nodejs on heroku link. they have a tour like guide for you to deploy your app easily just follow their steps and its free for one application
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 am a student and I am creating android app using apache cordova.
I want to access MySql Database of hosted website using apache cordova.
Please suggest me how can I do it.
Thanks in advance
For accessing that DB, you need to make a server API, you dont have to make it in PHP, there are a lot of technologies, but you can't do it directly from the client side (cordova).
Google for API REST or web service and choose your technology.
Im doing my final project which is a taxi booking service. i intend to make an ios app for the customer so that they can book a taxi. the request will then be sent to the mysql database (held at the taxi base). i want to no how can i send the information from the app to the datatbase; and the datatbase to send a confirmation message back to the app confirming the taxi has been booked!>>>>>
i have read a lot about web servers but am very confused. can i use an web server e.g. windows home server 2008? any help would be appreciated.
I am not familiar with Windows home server 2008, but I'm pretty much sure that you can use it for your project.
If you want to keep things simple,
Just install XAMPP server which comes with all the components you need to work on this project including PHP and MySQL. It is one of the easiest servers to work with and most of all, its free and open source. http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html
Then write the business logics inside your Web App using whatever the programming language you want to (for this one PHP would be enough, or choose Java if you want to have a more complex scalable solution). Writing data to a MySQL database using PHP is very easy and you can find ton of tutorials and sample source codes in the internet.
Now your web app is all set, the next step is to expose these services using REST where an iPhone can communicate with your services. Use JSON for interacting with your Web server from iPhone. Again, there are tones of tutorials on how to write a JSON RESTful service using PHP.
Finally in your iPhone app, you can access the service exposed from the server for saving data as well as to retrieve anything from it through JSON. For making this, use a good Objective-C framework such as AFNetworking. It comes with the JSON parser as well. Ref. http://afnetworking.com
Good luck with your project !
RESTful web services are going to be your best friend here.
Create a server side program in django or python or whstever. Connect it to a database (mysql).
You can host it on Amazon Web Services. I think they have windows 2008 instances. I would personally use the amazon linux ami.
Use afnetworking to invoke a get or a post on the server app and you are off to the races.
take a look at this open source taxi project
its work with RESTful web services but its better to forget about Microsoft Windows its better to use Linux hosting for your web service.
New to iPhone dev here. Just wondering what's the best way to connect an iPhone app frontend (based on Cocoa touch ) to a php/MySql based backend?
The iPhone application will frequently access and change data stored on our server.
Read about mysql framework and MCPKit framework but these are for cocoa not for cocoa touch.
so can I access mysql based backend without any web service on server side.?
Many thanks
You can create a REST Api for your PHP/mySQL. Something like this

Then on the iOS side of things, you can use something like AFNetworking, to make requests to your server.
