[FX.php List] Web Hosting

[John May]

Note that it sounds like John wants to host his FileMaker database on 
his own local FMS instance, and connect to it with a 3rd party Web/PHP 
server.  I personally would highly recommend against this, due to 
latency issues going between the two over the internet, as well as the 
tendency for FileMaker to take out the web server if the database 
becomes unavailable.

We offer FileMaker/PHP hosting here, but only allow connection to 
databases hosted on our local servers:
