Hosting Xojo Applications
Hosting Xojo Applications
There are various options for hosting your Xojo web apps. For optimal performance and security, we suggest choosing a Virtual Private Server (VPS). Shared hosting typically does not work because of its lack of configurability; using Xojo Cloud offers an easy one-click solution with built-in SSL support and database support.
Linux, Windows and Mac servers are among the most frequently used server platforms for Xojo web apps. Linux servers typically utilize Apache with setup being relatively straightforward; windows web servers generally utilize IIS but may also run Apache; they’re available from less hosting companies than comparable Linux servers and usually cost more. Mac servers tend to be easier to set up but fewer hosting companies provide these servers.
Since Xojo 2020 Release 1 has been available on these platforms, we now support a new Web Framework which makes developing modern-looking and stable UI controls much simpler for web apps, while taking advantage of features such as automatic session reconnection and auto-login usually only found in more sophisticated frameworks.
Xojo web apps can be deployed on any platform supported by Xojo; however, for optimal performance and security we recommend VPS servers as these provide dedicated servers tailored specifically to you, making Xojo deployment much simpler and faster. Furthermore, all Xojo licenses include unlimited use of its IDE in debug mode on as many computers without incurring an additional fee; perfect for web, desktop, mobile and console app development projects!
