Hello,
I have a drupal project that I want to start hosting and publishing online.
I have few questions here (and please bear with me till the end bcause this is the 1st time I use hosting):
1. My project was built on Windows. I thought about hosting on Linux because most of the hosting companies have drupal, ldap, mail, apache on Linux. And this is my area of expertise. So my question is: Is it easy to migrate my project to Linux provided that Iinstall the same modules as in WIndows?
2. If I used Linux (and please dont turn the subject into which solution is more powerful), will it be a limitation in terms of web design later on? I mean it could be that developers will tell me: Oh you have the site on Linux while my expertise is on Windows. It should not be the case. Right?
3. When I use the shared hosting (so far this is the cheapest one), will I be able to manage drupal configuration (modules, ...) and apache (redirection,...), and ldap? I know I should check with the hosting companies but what are the norms there in shared hosting. Actually I did not use this service before.
4. And finally and this is the most important question: I want to build my own website (based on drupal) and put the project in one seperate tab called Demo. So in other terms, I have a drupal site that I want to put inside another drupal site. Is this the correct description (of course, the demo will use relative path of my principle website)? Or should I start everthing from scratch when I will build the demo. There must be a way you people publish your solution first as a demo before putting it in its official URL.
Thank you in advance. and again please bear with me these newbie-type of questions.
