The foundation upon which our services rest is your Web Service provider. If your business or family strategy does not include a web site, we cannot help you. Our solutions require that you have a presence on the Internet.
Your Web Host runs on a computer in a data center that most likely runs either Windows or unix - two types of operating systems. We have a strong bias toward the unix operating system since it was developed to manage large, complex computer systems. We consider it an *industrial strength* O/S, and it has historically performed much better than other operating systems - it tends to crash much less often, and run longer between crashes.
Consider the components upon which all our Cloud Solutions are based:
- Web Host - select your own, or use our preferred provider - iPower.com
- mySQL Database (we configure and implement it on your Web Host)
- Web Pages - (we create them, we help you adapt them to your needs)
- Server side software - (we write it, we help you adapt it to your needs)
The two most important reasons for our unix preference are: 1) The SQL database at the core of our Cloud Solutions was first designed to run on unix systems. 2) Perl - the programming language we use as our "Server Side Software" - was written by Larry Wall, the same brilliant man who wrote large parts of the unix operating system itself.
The Network is the Future!
