Instead of renting server you could start with virtual server http://www.forpsi.com/virtual/ for 1,30 $/month or so, and choose Debian 8 (or other linux) in their administrative interface. In additition buy a domain for ~4 $/year and point them to the public IP address of the virtual server. With letsencrypt you will have https server certificate for free.
You will need use the Debian install system (apt install...), ssh access, and sftp access (lets say in Dolphin: Network, Add connection, Secure shell). Plus you need to know few (or lot of...) things. Here I have notes how to install. They are in czech language but because they are simple steps and commands only, maybe you will understand with help of google-translate. http://wikilinuxdevel.alwaysdata.net/plugin_wiki/page/forpsi # debian, nginx, web2py, letsencrypt certificates http://wikilinuxdevel.alwaysdata.net/plugin_wiki/page/postgres # postgres, remote ppgadmin, pgdump basics Dne čtvrtek 3. března 2016 8:23:54 UTC+1 Martin Keyser napsal(a): > > I have created a web2py application and I wish to deploy it on the web.
