Hi Sweeties and YumYums,
So as some of you might of seen in my recent journals, blogs etc etc I am trying to get my chatbot project going again and have opted with the method of hosting the bots “brain” online where a flash game style interface in my gallery will be able to talk with it, and then with you. I kiiiiinda need a little bit of help or advice from people with knowledge on having an online website/data base as I have... zero XD
I’m following a tutorial but first I need to find a place to pop my bot’s files, sadly the first place I was hoping could help weren’t able so I’m now looking at buying one through something like MediaTemple to host the files for me. I have no clue if this is a good company or if there are better ones so that’s why I thought on dropping this question out there in case any of you could help me avoid a novice pitfall or could help in anyway.
/////////
\\\\\\\\
From reading the tutorial and from I have been told by the first place I asked I need a Host provider where I have basic control over my own database. Along with acess to PHP, mysql and apache.

Once I am sure I have a place where the above highlighted bit is fulfilled I “should” be able to follow the tutorial to upload my bot and look about getting it talking to the flash program so everyone can see the early stages of hir (^. .^) and hopefully get me motivated to keep on improving and adding.
So if anyone has any suggestions for places where I can securely do this and it won’t cost me all of my gold pile I would really appreciate any tips or pointers as I have never done anything like this before (^. .^) Thanks so so much!
Licks and slurps for all !!!
Oh if anyone is interested in the tutorial here is the link I am following

I use Heroku for web hosting. Does ruby on rails, python, php, javascript - most things for web. I like it over most others because it's easiest. Like most cloud-servers, it stores all the files you have and relays (hosts), but can't store files or accept uploads to it, for say, from other people other than yourself. So if you wanted users to be able to add photos or icons to an "account", would have to use something like amazon's 3S. I haven't explored much there, and I think for your purpose you wouldn’t need to go any further, but amazon has quite a bit of tools and stuff for web-development: https://aws.amazon.com - is there "web services," I hear it's pretty good. Basically, choosing the right web host is up to you, what you can afford and do. Might be a few free ones out there, but I haven't dug too much into those, they tend to be unreliable.
If you haven’t already, I certainly recommend trying ruby on rails. It’s a great web-app framework program. (Framework program)
http://rubyonrails.org
I personally like bootstrap, works well with ruby and other frameworks. (Framework program)
http://getbootstrap.com
If you are using alot of PHP, https://laravel.com (PHP framework)
Or if you want to be oldschool, jquery language, simplifies javascript coding. Ruby basically replaces this though.
When you get stuck or have problems (which WILL happen, it’s only a certain amount of time), stack overflow is like gold. Go there, usually the question you have is answered somewhere. Go to a guide if you have no idea where to start or start having problems starting with something. Other than that, that's about it.
A good combo: Heroku, Ruby/Boostrap. Found this works quite well.
Hope these are some useful sources to help out! I can probably find some good guides, depending on where you'd like guiding, but I think I've put too much already. Cheers!
I can see you are having a bit of trouble, but to be honest, you probably have it better under control then I would xD
