West Wind Web Connection

Web Connection Application Hosting Services

Web Connection's primary target audience are companies interested in hosting their own Web servers on the Web or an Intranet. Finding application hosting services with independent ISPs may be a little difficult as Web Connection introduces fairly intensive resource requirements with the installation of Visual FoxPro and you may need full access to your machine in order to administer the application. Reality: Most ISPs won't allow it in a typical shared hosting enironment.

If you are building a serious Web application you should carefully consider running your application on a dedicated machine even if you choose to use an ISP to host your site. Many ISPs provide co-location options, so check with your local ISPs. These days pricing for co-location is often very reasonable and having your own dedicated box provides peace of mind.

There are providers that allow hosting FoxPro specific applications. These companies have FoxPro knowledgeable staff and are familiar with the unique requirements for running FoxPro and Web Connection applications on the Web:

  • DNG Solutions (Anaheim, CA)
    DNG Solutions offers reasonable prices for those developers that want to get their Web Connection Application online cost effectively, as well as offering the technical support required to get up and running quickly. Solutions start as low as $49/month. Run by Web Connection MVP Darrell Gardner, this company is knowledgable in all aspects of Web hosting and network configuration, as well as providing knowledgable support for  Web Connection and Visual FoxPro based Web solutions.

  • WebConnectionHosting.com by Ideate (Chicago)
