Oracle

Hi,

 

Can anyone recommend any Oracle Database, web hosting?

 

Cheers

Oracle database hosting, or web hosting with some kind of Oracle integration? If it's the latter you're unlikely to find it. Oracle charge for a license to use it so you're unlikely to find a web host willing to go through the trouble of providing both, plus they're both kind of specialist areas. You can however get shared Oracle database hosting; though I can't recommend any in-particular as at work we house our own servers.

 

I guess it depends upon how much usage it will receive as to whether it's actually worth paying for your own dedicated server and license? Also what are your requirements from Oracle (and why Oracle)? They do offer an 'express edition', but the features are a lot lacking in comparison to the paid version... of course.

yeah there doesn't seem to be much out there if you want an oracle DB (especially if you want one cheep),

 

however have found  http://www.application-outsource.co.uk they seem ok, everything set up with in an a couple of hours, they could have given me free domain name, but for £6.00 per month I get

 

PHP/Mysql,

2gb webspace,

15gb bandwidth

oracle 10g Xe 

 

so, so far so good

Xe is the express edition, though I stand corrected about the combined Oracle / web hosting packages they have. Can't seem to see the £6 package you have? Does that include VAT?

here's the link

not sure if it includes VAT, next bill is just 6.00, though I suspect that they will add it so It probably works out at 7.10 a month
