To decide the best solution, there are several questions you need to ask yourself:

a) Do you only need static content or you need a database driven application? Does the product have the features that you are looking for? How difficult it is to extend existing features or add new features?

b) Do you have the skills to use the service or you need professional help? What kind of support you get from the service provider and how much you need to pay for it? If the service provider is in a different country, does their hours of support overlap with your work hours?

c) Do you need to host the application on your intranet? Does the service provider allow that? Can you integrate it with your existing systems to increase the usefulness of the solution?

HttpStudio is a rapid application development platform for Java based enterprise applications. Even though it can be also used to create static web sites, it is not just another web site builder tool. HttpStudio platform itself is not targeted to solve any specific problem of an industry. The library of reusable modules deployed into the platform, provides industry specific functionality. HttpStudio has an integration framework that can combine simple reusable modules into applications that solve real world problems.

Philosophy behind HttpStudio is based on what we call as MARS:

1) Modularity

2) Automation

3) Reusability

4) Simplicity

Automation of software development provides following benefits to clients:

1) Less cost

2) Faster delivery

3) Better quality

If your requirements are very generic and HttpStudio has a readymade application for it, you might not require any coding. But most custom applications need some amount manual programming, which we provide for an additional cost. There are many tools in the market that uses phrases like "absolutely no coding", "in a few clicks" and so on for marketing purposes. That will work only give you some pre canned solutions which doesn't work for everyone. HttpStudio is a tool to help the developers, designers and power users to produce quality applications quickly, it is not meant to replace the role of skilled professionals completely.

All the source code that is generated for your project is available to you on request under the condition that it will not be used to compete against us in the market. You will have the right to modify the all the generated source code for your own purposes, but you can't resell the solution without permission from us. The developed application can be deployed to any Java based application server and can be maintained without HttpStudio. HttpStudio source code is not an open source solution at present.

This is a continuous debate going on many discussion forums. There is no one word answer. It depends on what you are comparing with. How safe is your data at present? Do you have infrastructure, procedures, and resources to protect your data? For most businesses, the biggest risk of information leak is through insiders. For big businesses, you need to consider targeted attacks from outside too. Data is not 100% safe anywhere.

Our servers are hosted with some of the world's biggest hosting companies including Amazon EC2 and 1and1. They have put much more effort to put their systems secure than what probably any small or medium business have. We are very serious about the security of our systems and client data. The overall security of any system is not better than the weakest link. Everyone involved has equal responsibility in safe guarding the data against loss, theft and abuse.

Even though all our solutions are most cost effective and easier to maintain on a cloud platform, they can also be installed on your private servers. So if you have a valid concern about cloud security, you still have a choice.
