Wow! Now that's an answer!

I have a client project and it has to be developed for the web but Atomic Server seems perfect for it.

I will need it to be on the web, so what is the least expensive way to host this? My home connection won't be robust enough for the masses. Where do you suggest I host this for public consumption?

Sorry I get confused by terminology a virtual private server is a virtual machine.
That's not such an easy choice. There are so many options for hosting, I was recently looking at Ionos, it's reasonably priced and you don't need a credit card to sign up. https://www.ionos.com/ as for server requirements 2Gb ram and 2 cores should be sufficient as long as you have root access to the machine your good to go.

I use the VPS from "Contabo" and it's IMHO the most powerful ones you can find for the money:

I set up Atomic Web Server a couple of times and had a basic page working, but I struggled with the concept of including PureBasic code and how that's done.

Is there an example, or a note about this, that might help us with getting going? :D

There are examples in the repository, single_server_localhost.pb
I figure its easier to look at examples than try and have me explain how to use it or all you'll get a 10 page essay! :lol:

Would be nice if you think a way (generic include?) to keep our PB code when you release a new version, because If we add the procedures in the server source, we lost it each time we update overwriting the files.
I delayed using it for this reason, until Atomic Server was more mature.
