When one rents srever space in a typical shared hosting package usualy it is assumed that all traffic about your site is http or maybe ftp.
What I would like some tips or info on is running a socket server for an application I've created.
I know how to program Python or PHP sockets (I could probably make a page that connects to other servers) but It is unclear to me how I would run a server off of shared hosting. I also know nothing about Linux which seems to be standard for shared hosts.
Is "chron" something i should look into?
Please let me know if this question is not clear.
