Re: servers
I know of at least one customer running it on Windows emulation on Linux. I offer no support for that so you're on your own. Poker Mavens is a Windows application and that's the only place I test it. Google for "Windows VPS". There are plenty of Windows hosting services around the world.bc1 wrote:will this install on a linux server or does it have to be windows as a few ive ask are linux only???

Re: servers
You can't install your own software on a shared server, you won't have the admin rights required. Those shared hosting sites put hundreds of accounts on a single machine. If you locked it up or rebooted it would take everyone down with it. Burst.net has some cheap Windows VPS's. My demo site http://www.pm-demo.com is currently hosted there on a Windows Server 2008 VPS. Don't expect to support hundreds of logins on one of those but it may be a good starting point.bc1 wrote:ok thx....and a shared server wont do??
Re: servers
have you tested a number there for example of what it would handle [reasonably] for a base starter server for me..or a good guess-tamate if possible..not needing hundreds anyway???

Re: servers
No, I haven't done any real testing there. My demo site doesn't get much traffic. I'm on their cheapest plan which barely even has enough disk space to operate.bc1 wrote:have you tested a number there for example of what it would handle [reasonably] for a base starter server for me..or a good guess-tamate if possible..not needing hundreds anyway???
