So, buy a cheap 1GHz eMac for $799. (or if you have a little more, buy the cheapest multilicense XServe G4 for $2,499 which comes bundled with OS X Server (worth $999) and WebObjects deployment license (worth $699)). Stick lots of RAM in it (< $150). If you already own WebObjects ($699), install the Deployment installation and license on the Mac. Also install your database server (www.MySQL.com is free for example, that's item 1 taken care of).

Use cloaking feature of www.dyndns.org to point to different WO applications so you can have different "domains" (item 2)

Mac OS X Server has FTP services built in. If using client, just use unix open source FTP server. (item 3)

For item 4 use postfix and/or javamail to haev WO app send emails.

Get cable modem internet service at your house. Typically Roadrunner basic cable modem service costs $40 a month (from TIme Warner in my area).

If your service does not provide a fixed IP address, then use www.dyndns.org and a free program such as DNSUpdate running on your eMac to automatically update the domain name to reflect your current IP address.

Then host your own semi-pro/personal WO app on your own eMac. If anything you will learn more by hosting it yourself inexpensively in your house!

A week or so ago I posted a message looking for semi-pro hosting. A friend has asked me to help him find inexpensive PERSONAL hosting so he may learn web objects.

REQUIREMENTS:
1. Must allow database access so he may learn this area;
2. Must allow multiple sites and multiple domains at little or no additional cost;
3. Must have easy upload facilities (using FTP or something similar); and,
4. Must allow outgoing email from his sites (so people can send him requests through forms).


I have tried finding a few, but the ones I have found through Google are much too expensive for him. The ones in his price range do not offer all of the requirements he needs to fill.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx,
Ryan
