Web Hosting

There is no right answer when it comes to hosting a FoxWeb site. The best solution depends on a number of factors that vary from case to case. Following are some of your options:

Hosting Your Own Internet Site
Most FoxWeb clients host their own sites on the Internet or intranet. FoxWeb can be hosted on any Windows™ based Web server that is hooked to the Internet. All you need is an Internet connection that is fast enough to serve your application's inbound and outbound traffic, as well as a static IP-address, so that browsers will be able to connect to your server. If you have a T1 or other fast connection you can easily host your own site. In many cases DSL and cable connections can also be used to host Web sites, but you need to make sure that your service agreement allows you to do so and that your ISP provides you with a static IP-address.

Co-location
With co-location instead of being offered space on a shared server, you are allowed to install your own server at the ISP's facility. This setup offers you full control over your server so you can remotely access the machine using tools such as pcAnywhere. ISPs usually provide emergency services, such as rebooting of the system in case of a crash and in some cases they also provide software installation services. The advantage of co-location is that it provides better security and control of your server. You will also have no trouble finding an ISP. A disadvantage is that co-location is usually more costly than hosting on a shared server. Many ISPs provide co-location services -- check with your local ISPs for pricing and other information.

Hosting on a shared server
A number of Internet hosting providers offer FoxWeb application hosting services on shared servers. Although this solution does not provide total control of the server and may be inapropriate for applications with high security requirements, it is adequate in most cases and is much less costly than the co-location option. Following is a list of providers that offer FoxWeb hosting services on shared servers:

  • Aegis Group (USA) We have recently partnered with EonWeb to offer FoxWeb hosting services. For details, please contact us at support@foxweb.com.
  • Fox Total (Brazil)
  • KylixHost (Singapore)

ISPs: List your site in this page
If you are a Web Service Provider and have specific support for FoxWeb you can get your site listed in this page. To qualify you need to provide a special page on your Web Site that describes your service options and pricing for FoxWeb hosting and, if available, a description of your programming services.
