web development with 4D

Hi,

I need to develop a website for a company I'm about to start, and I  
want to know whether 4D is a good solution for developing a web store.  
In other words, can you have a basic website (with static pages) that  
also mixes in a section that contains a database

The purpose would be to enable product purchases, downloads, send  
license keys, get user registrations, and so forth.

If 4D could do this, what documentation describes this process. And  
what tools would I need besides 4D itself? Are there any examples out  
there?

Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

Yes, 4D v11 SQL is fully capable to do this. You can find some excellent
examples at http://www.4d.com/support/learning/databasesamplev11.html .
I would suggest to call 4D Sells to get more information what exactly
you are need to accomplish this.

Thanks for the clarification. It seems, however, that most people  
would not be able to host the site. Does this mean that I would have  
to provide my own web server?

There are multiple options that exist; here are a few for example:

1) Host it yourself using your own internet connection.  

2) Co-Location is another option.  I believe it has been said before that
http://www.4DToday.com runs from http://www.MacMiniColo.com 

3) There is also http://www.4dnetcenter.com

Just to name a few.

Hope that helps,

Tim

Hi Daniel,

No,  4D has build in Web Server. To be able to host your web site, you
need to have a license for the Web Server. The web server can be run
from either 4D application or 4D Server. As I mentioned  in my previous
message, contact 4D Sales to get more information.
