Description
Hello,
sorry for my bad english. But I hope any can understand my questions. I have installed Wt on my Windows XP PC and can general use the examples on http://localhost:8080/ My questions:
- What I need to use Wt application direct into internet?
- An Apache HTTP Server Project with a fixed http-address (---http-address=0.0.0.0)?
- Which type of product I have to order for an useful provider for this?
- Hints for useful provider are welcome.
Many thanks

Hey,
Let me clarify your options.
Most Internet-based hosting are Linux-based, although there are exceptions. In any case you will need to go for a dedicated or virtual private server, since you need to build and install a binary executable, something which shared hosting options usually do not allow or support. Because of good virtualization support in current-day processors, VPS solutions are becoming really common.
Because Wt is very light-weight, a cheap VPS can already support many concurrent users.
Deployment tools can be a matter of taste. We have good epxerience with either Apache+FastCGI or with Apache+wthttpd or nginx+wthttpd. The latter two will use a reverse-proxy setup.
Even if you are deploying on Linux, you may still develop using MSVC if you are more comfortable with that development environment. But you will have to write portable C code.
