We only use their VPS with access by RDP. Note that this is a Windows
2008/12 server (your choice - unfortunately Win2003 is no longer
available) so the VFP installation is the same as installing on a local
workstation. We install FileZilla on the 2008/12 server so we can get
things on and off the server easily. Just FTP your install exe to the
server and then execute it as you would on a local workstation.
All 3 of these are the same except for pricing, storage, memory, etc.
You choose what works best for you. For 2 users on 2008/12 you should
have a minimum of 2 gb memory (just my opinion). We find that the amount
of memory you have mainly affects performance. If you google 'remote
desktop hosting' you will get many hits. Be sure to use it for at least
a couple of weeks before committing to production. We have tried several
in the past 6 months that failed and had to reinstall the OS. The
'support' did not have any idea what happened. We lost all our data,
programs, etc. Of course we always have a local complete backup at least
every evening or after any major changes. We use Webfaction (recommended
on this list long ago). This is a very low cost, reliable Linux web host
we have used for at least 6 years. We backup our terminal servers onto
webfaction. The speed is up to 10mb/second so it does not take long.
Then we have a local workstation with over 30TB storage and use
SyncBackSE scheduled backup from Webfaction to local storage and keep up
to one years daily backup.
Our opinion is that there are some amateurs out there offering services
that have no idea what they are doing.
We prefer to program with 2 monitors - one for the running program and
one for the VFP debugger. Here is a trick to use with Win2008/12. When
you access by RDP use a shortcut target with something like this:
C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe /span "C:\Users\RDP\TS109_Administrator.rdp"
Note the '/span' this will cause your display to use both monitors. Very
nice.

Please help me and guide me
Are you saying there is a Fox app you have developed on a drive with
Hostwinds
What would you say to me if I said I want to do something like this where
my App may be little "backward" and consists of basically an EXE, 200
dbf/cdx/fpt files and 200 frx/frt files
Hostwind suggest I should choose their vps option

I currently run my own servers and have a number of clients connecting

site that runs cheap 2003 - 2008 server systems that give you access
to setting up windows services, IIS, RDP sessions and the like.
Thanks.
