I know a bit about setting up linux servers and stuff, so would be better at that side of it than app programming, but I could give it a go, never done Java stuff though (which is what android apps are based on), although when you can program in assembler and low level C it can't be that difficult! It may be that leighlife can get a better deal for a webserver than they have now with more bandwidth. The bandwidth will only be needed once a week, so the total MB usage may not be so high so could still get a cheap webserver deal. Will email you tomorrow hopefully.'"
Hi Athy Box Yed
At LeighLife we use a VS running Linux, Bandwidth isn't an issue and neither is storage space. What caused the site to run slowly while the radio was transmitting was the number of simultaneous requests to the webserver which consumed the available process handlers and stuffed the memory, as I'm sure you're aware swapping or anything similar isn't available on a VS but only on dedicated servers which is something we're looking into, if that proves to be beyond our reach then a VS with a memory upgrade might be the answer. We're still looking into the possibilities.
