VIP Hosting: Positive Technologies
The Positive Internet Company offers and supports a wide range of liberating technologies. Whether it's an off-the-shelf guest book script or a bespoke Internet superstore system, we have the expertise and considerable experience to ensure that everything just works, and works well.
You can host any type of site or web application on Positive Internet's range of managed servers, from static pages to fully interactive, database backed content-management systems. We install and manage the world's most popular web-serving software, Apache, onto the world's most popular web-services platform, GNU/Linux. Our experience with these proven systems ensures that your site will have unmatched uptime and stability.
Open Source Flexibility
Our technologies are generally Open Source. This means you are not burdened by any software license fees, and will not be orphaned by sudden discontinued development. You are instead using leading, popular, peer-reviewed and unencumbered technologies. This is why sites developed on Positive Internet servers are so responsive and stable: we select software that allows complete tailoring.
Complete Control
Whatever your approach to the "alphabet soup" of technical details, the important point is that these are popular, industry-standard technologies. We take the burden out of ensuring that they all work together in harmony. Furthermore, we will install friendly web-based control panels to simplify any management you do wish to undertake. At the other end of the spectrum, we will grant you full Superuser (root) access to your server, and Secure Shell (SSH) access for fine-grained remote management.
Popular Technologies
All the technologies you might require for making your site fully interactive will be installed and configured to your requirements. Popular or bespoke CGI scripts in Perl, Python, TCL and other languages will work immediately. We will add any specific modules you require on request. For rapid interactive development, the highly popular PHP system allows you to embed database queries and other dynamic content directly into your web pages. Of course, because the server is running a full Unix-like environment, you have unrestricted access to its toolset. This includes the C and C++ compilers, the shells and editors. We ensure you have the richest development environment possible.
Java Power
For scalable enterprise solutions, we also offer as standard support for all Java J2EE technologies. We provide a perfect platform for Java Servlets, JHTML, JSP and JDBC, with their complementary XML/XSLT engines. You will be able to produce infinitely scalable three tiered solutions with tools like Jakarta Tomcat and the JBOSS Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) platform, and for a fraction of the price of the proprietary equivalents. Whilst some might find this a bewildering collection of acronyms, web-teams will be pleasantly surprised and relieved to find such a fully specified solution backed up so consummately by Positive Internet's experts in the field.
Fastest Databases
To marshal all your data, the world's fastest database, MySQL, is installed as standard. You can connect to it via any of the above-mentioned technologies to produce extremely rapid dynamic sites. You may also manage your remote database with packages like Microsoft Access, via the free ODBC driver. We are also happy to install the enterprise-ready PostgreSQL server.
