Our Software Hosting fees are the same as our Shared Hosting, ($144 per year),
but may vary if you require more space or bandwidth. Which setup you choose will
be determined by the type and how the application/s will be used.

The most important consideration when choosing to run these types of applications is:
Is the hosting service setup for these kind of applications? Three environments need
to be running on the web server to make these applications perform, Apache, PHP and
mySQL. When seaching for a possible application to run, it is important that it will run in
this environment. So only select applications written in PHP.

MJ Computing.com.au uses servers setup with these specs across all of our hosting
packages and will be able to assist you with any questions that you might have.

Software hosting is about running specific software instead of a traditional website and in
some cases, many different applications may be used to bring about a total solution.
One of the most popular examples being used on the Internet is a Blog or a Web Log.
