web applications - Off-site web server talking to on-site database for small business: is it feasible? -
i going putting website talk directly microsoft sql database hosted in small office. debating between having web server in same office vs. hosting professional hosting company. trick database must remain in office because of internal software requirements.
internet speeds @ office 1.2 mb / 5 mb down. feasible have off-site web server talk microsoft sql database in office? restrict access database based on ip address. website not high-traffic means.
would feasible have off-site web server talk microsoft sql database in office?
it's impossible tell without seeing site, not, @ least not on permanent basis. performance horrible, , tying web site shop server, making availability of web site depend on availability of shop's dsl connection. power outage in store take down web site, , store owner's son downloading pirated movie slow down app's order processing. :)
you should either frequent data exports (instead of permanent connection) store database online one, or have database run remotely after - might possible work around "database must local" requirement using vpn or something.
