KyleH112 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Everyone that is hosting on a dedicated server or your own computer what programs are you using to host the site and crons? Quote
Dayo Posted July 24, 2016 Posted July 24, 2016 I use Arch Linux as the OS on both my PC and servers they all run with nginx, php-fpm/node.js and mysql for the web server/database. As for crons i use vixe-cron but i have used cronie before Quote
KyleH112 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Posted July 24, 2016 I'm more of a windows guy, I know Linux would be best since its built for hosting, I've played around with ubuntu before but just can't get use to Linux. Quote

Linux wasn't built specifically for web hosting. I've never hosted on Windows, but you'll probably want a simple WAMP stack - which you can get from Bitnami: https://bitnami.com/stack/wamp - but it all depends on what you're hosting. Quote
Coly010 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 The founder of Linux built it for himself, not for others. He doesn't care what it's used for or where it ends up. It wasn't built for web servers but for his own personal use. He just made it open source and let people do what they want. As sniko said, if you're using Windows you'll want WAMP. For crons maybe think about Scheduled Tasks : https://www.drupal.org/node/31506 that's a specific example but it shows how to set them up Quote
