Global Wt deployment on a hosted server
Global Wt deployment on a hosted server is a type of global Wt deployment in which an internet host is paid to maintain a computer at a location you often don't know, only access by an internet connection. The access rights you have varies from FTP-only to root access.
If you can deploy Wt globally depends on your access rights:
Hosted server, FTP access: if all you can do
is uploading files to your server using FTP, 'you are most likely
not in a situation that you can run a Wt application' [1].
Hosted server, SSH access: if you have SSH
access (next to FTP access) 'you may have sufficient rights on the
server to host a Wt application' [1].- Others: probably succeed. See [2]
for details.

Hey Richel, Yes, I believe this is information is somewhat lacking. I have not yet encountered a shared hosting environment that is suitable for hosting of Wt applications. Wt requires either that you are allowed to install a FastCGI application or that you are allowed to run daemons to which HTTP requests are routed through a reverse proxy. If you can login to your server using SSH, then that is a sign that you may have sufficient rights on the server to host a Wt application. If all you can do is upload files over FTP, then you are most likely not in a situation that you can run a Wt application. Type cheapest type of server on which you can host Wt application is usually a Virtual Private Server. A quick google reveals offerings starting at around \$50 per year. Regards, koen\
