Out of this business a long time. It's a norm but waste of money and effort on fundamental level anyway. Any functionality that any webpage offers could be just a program. This not happening is why everything stays slow and ridiculously resource-intensive forever. If computers, networks and storage get faster, more nonsense is added to make it all stay te same. I lost the technical challenge after the time of CGI.
I was thinking initially of using a standard Drupal+PostgreSQL package for real estate management.
I host 7; main cost is the domain ($20/year)
If you're on the west part of a country but have website visits mostly from the east, it might be better to have the VPS on the east so most visitors have lower-latency, but it might make quick sysadmin stuff/ssh a little slower. If the VPS has a historic status page I'd check if particular regions have more frequent maintenance/downtime than others (wildfires, storms, coastal/floods)
I was involved with the St. Louis Chess Club and Museum which is known around the world. They use Drupal. It can handle anything but it's large and can be complicated. My company used postgreSQL for everything and it's a wise choice.
If your users are in the US and your VPS is in the US then not likely. If it ever becomes an issue then you just change providers.
Of course. We hosted a large restaurant chain and a theater company for many years along with a multitude of smaller operations.
Yeah, they run on 16.0-CURRENT now
(details); 2 are static text and the rest PHP/MySQL
By "package" do you mean there's an existing solution (I'm assuming not a FreeBSD port/package) and you just need to host (and maybe tweak) that solution?
I was browsing through
