TouristWay is multi-platform - therefore, talking about the usual operating systems, it is possible to install it on both Windows and Linux.

Touristway supports any CGI-capable web server (like Microsoft IIS or Apache) that can execute Perl scripts. Database management system is MySQL. In our experience these requisites are matched by most hosting provider.

You probably want to know which kind of processor, ram and storage space is exactly required. Unfortunately this evaluation depends on numerous variables (for example on the catalogue – how many products you will insert, how detailed the information will be, how many users etc), and so it is impossible to make an accurate estimate.

However, you can consider a reasonably-modern multi-core processor server with 1GB RAM your entry-level setup. Regarding the server space, it entirely depends on the type and amount of information you plan to upload to your catalogue, however we certainly advise for nothing less than 500 MB.

Beside the technical considerations we often use to summarize this answer in a brief advice.

Given the extremely affordable rates of high-end dedicated servers it’s certainly wise to go for the best configuration that fit in the project’s budget. An online booking engine is a very demanding application and usually business-critical, thereby we strongly suggest to play safe unless you are willing to consider an hardware upgrade in few months.
