[REBOL] Re: How to find an Internet provider with Rebol CGI capabilities?

From: btiffin:rogers at: 18-Jul-2007 5:00

I've started up a web hosting service. Free Viewtop rebsites for the REBOL faithful was the original plan, but that has expanded to full fledged programming accounts. It's http://peoplecards.ca. Secure shell Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 accounts, but I've been lazy and these are still rooted off my Dev machine, not the speedy little server boxes. That also means I haven't turned on an X-Window tunnelling on the ssh, so it's limited to terminal sessions and REBOL/Core 1.3.2 and 2.7.5 for interactive programming on the servers. (Well along with all the other Debian GNU/Linux goodies including Digital Mars D compiler 1.010 etc.) peoplecards.ca uses DocKimbel's most awesome Cheyenne web server and I just installed 0.9.16 so it's good to go with RSP and CGI, and I might turn on the PHP handler, but I think it needs some soak time first. Downside...I'm a small, very small, shop. Things keep changing as I learn more and add the bells and whistles, which I do slowly because I'm still not convinced I understand all the ins and outs of the Internet Bugs and Thugs and I'd rather not open a port for a service until I know I can reasonably lock it down. I'm charging $12.95 a month to customers, but REBOL coders get in free. Name wise you'd be http://peoplecards.ca/rebol/pickaname but after a few more tests, I'll be opening up virtual hosts, so http://pickaname.peoplecards.ca/ is an option too. Resource usage wise, we'd need to negotiate, but I'm willing to provide as much as I feasibly can to advance REBOL. Again, downside...I'm a small shop and I unplug everything but the Production server for lightning etc... Cheers, Brian On Wednesday 18 July 2007 02:59, Alessandro Manotti wrote:
