Linux Apache MySQL PHP
LAMP is our preferred combination of software programs used for building dynamic websites. The combination is as follows: Linux (operating system), Apache (web server), MySQL (database management system), and PHP (programming language). PHP is our programming language of choice for database applications primarily for its quick response time, compatibility and efficiency.
MySQL
MySQL is the world's most popular database management system that uses SQL. It offers incredible stability and provides great website performance which is why it is our ideal choice for all database-driven websites. MySQL can be used with a variety of programming languages, including RoR, PHP, or Cold Fusion.
Ruby on Rails
Released in 2004, Ruby on Rails (RoR or Rails) is a web application framework that allows for database/back-end applications to be developed in less code and with minimal configuration. It is an open-source framework written in the Ruby programming language. We offer a stable and reliable hosting environment for your Rails web applications utilizing the recommended Apache, running Mongrel, topped off with a nix-based for deployment.
ColdFusion
One of the earliest of the dynamic web programming languages, ColdFusion has been successfully deployed by Mineral | Azurite on numerous websites dating back to 1998. ColdFusion allows the rapid development of complex websites utilizing the popular MySQL database back-end. ColdFusion is reliable and scalable - and is now even better - when combined with the Ajax and Web 2.0 features available in the latest version.
Linux & BSD
For an increased level of security and redundancy, our web servers reside behind custom built and hand-tuned load balancers and firewalls. By utilizing the flexibility of software based routing in both BSD and Linux, Mineral is able to ensure total failover capabilities on our main web servers. For customers seeking more customized security, we are able to provide custom built solutions and VPN services to meet unique requirements.
