PurpleNova Pro

PurpleNova Pro is a software that let's you share your content online

securely and directly along with a feature to host websites and web

applications. For this, you don't need to have a static public IP. Anybody on a

DSL line with a dynamic IP can use it. Each file hosted through PurpleNova is

assigned a URL that can be mailed and shared with others who could access the

hosted content from their web browsers. The only key requirement is that the PC

that hosts content must always remain connected to the Internet.

The interface to the software is simple and allows all hosting functionality

through one window. Files can be hosted using Files and Folders tab. A private

access option lets the content to be viewed over SSL. If you have registered a

domain name, but don't have a static IP or webspace to host it, then you can use

PurpleNova for the job. Simply create your website, map the domain name to it,

and you're online. This can be a good option for organizations who want to test

out their websites over the Internet without first purchasing hosting space.

The way it works is quite simple. All you need is a local web server to host

your sites. It supports Apache, Tomcat, and IIS. Even a desktop OS like XP comes

with IIS built-in. Simply upload your website to this web server, and use

PurpleNova to create a URL for it. Only one thing to keep in mind here is that

the names of all hosted apps should be in lowercase.

Bottomline: Good option for small

businesses to host their web site and share content among clients.
