Hi there! :)<br />
<br />
I think one thing is to be using secure services while still maintaining a fast server, lots of interface mapping services and internet information services.

Hi<br />
<br />
Thank you for replies.<br />

Another very complete reply! still studying it.<br />
<br />
By this<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
1) Use solid provisioning (not hosting) from a company like OVH. 
</blockquote>
An dedicated host, ok?<br />
Is OVH Cloud a superior solution to use when compared with AWS f.e.? If so, on what aspects.
</div>


<div>
You asked, <b>&quot;Any dedicated host ok?&quot;</b><br />
<br />
I've used many hosting + provisioning companies, start in 1994.<br />
<br />
OVH towers over other companies for many reasons.<br />
<br />
1) Flat rate $3/IP setup with no monthly per IP charge.<br />
<br />
2) Unlimited bandwidth.<br />
<br />
3) Built in dashboard recovery system, which is worth it's weight in gold. Most companies require opening a support ticket to connect a terminal server. With OVH, the recovery boot + real boot is built in dashboard.<br />
<br />
4) Reverse DNS PTR record management. With most companies, same as #3, a ticket is required... then some long period of time... before PTR records are working. With OVH, you can allocate a new block of IPs, they show up in a few minutes, then you can set PTR records instantly, so you can have working PTR IP blocks in minutes rather than days.<br />
<br />
5) Best of all. OVH products are normally faster iron (hardware) + cheaper (by far) of any other comparable company.<br />
<br />
6) OVH now also provides mass disk storage servers, so running online RAID systems (with many Terrabytes of data) is dirt cheap + can be running in a few minutes after an order is input.<br />
<br />
Geez... OVH should pay me for marketing them... :)
</div>


<div>
OVH compared with AWS.<br />
<br />
1) No comparison.<br />
<br />
2) OVH is much cheaper.<br />
<br />
3) With OVH you never get surprise bills. With AWS $10K+ surprise bills are common, as AWS charges for everything... upload bandwidth... download bandwidth... per object access...<br />
<br />
The worst source of surprise bills generally come from per object access, where some... marginally intelligent developer unfamiliar with AWS billing writes some code... that works... then the code is deployed with 1000s of users, which generates some per object access pattern producing the dreaded $10K+ surprise bill.<br />
<br />
Note: You can search EE for AWS surprise bills for conversations about this sad tale.

<br />
Tip: Cloud... the term is meaningless. Servers are servers. Hardware is hardware.<br />
<br />
My tendency is to avoid any service mentioning the word Cloud because this is generally code for - slower + more expensive than just using a dedicated server.<br />

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.

Web Development

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.

Server Hardware

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.

SSL / HTTPS

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
