It s relatively easy to develop sites using the tool, but in order to go production with it on the Web, you re going to have to be running on an Internet-accessible server that has Oracle on it. WebDB requires that its internal packages and tables, stored within the database, be available in order to retrieve and display the site s data. If you re not developing your site through a company that has an Oracle license already, you ll need to get space on a dedicated server. In general, this term refers to a virtual server it looks like it s all yours, but in fact the physical box is shared with others. It may also refer to a dedicated physical server - you control the whole box.
Most service providers use the term to refer to a virtual dedicated server.
The server will have to have an Internet connection, an Oracle database and since it s to be a production Web site it should be in a controlled, 24x7 supported data center. Be sure to ask around for recommendations. One of those ISPs is the one I originally used for my non-WebDB site. When I complained about that, they told me to dial another area code that was local to me. I explained that there isn t one.
