Run a EXE program from a website?

Question

I have a program exe i run on my computer for myspace which Automates the task of completing missions etc on the myspace Mobsters APP.

I want to continuously run this program,BUT i don't want to have my computer stay on all day just to run it,

so i was thinking about getting hosting and some how uploading the program and run it off my hosting server so i wouldn't have to keep my computer. how would i do this if at all possible?

Answer 1

You can not use a web host to run applications, you can only host websites hence the name web host. The only way is either get a spare computer that won't be used for anything else or buy a Windows Virtual Private Server (VPS).

The VPS allows you to run applications and use the server like as if it was a computer normally. If you are getting a VPS, make sure you have a big budget and get a Windows one, not the Linux version. You could try a search for "Windows VPS" if you are getting one.

The alternative is to get a computer that will not be used for anything else besides that application.

Answer 2

Short answer: you can't.

There are a few reasons why, which I won't go into.

You CAN, however, write an application (.exe stands for executable, which is an application) that does the same task, that is written for online use. I'm afraid you will have to use different coding languages, probably either JavaScript or Java.
