So I am starting to plan out how to launch services and stuff for apps and games and what have you. But there are a lot of questions with different opinions as to what is the best way to do things.
Maybe you could give some opinions and insight to some of these?Web Requests:the AGAPI and Apps will need many web requests. I used to use PHP, but I am thinking of using something more efficient.Should I use Node.js? Does it need to be installed on the server? Seems to have a learning curve so it would take some time to get into.Hosting:So along with these requests, I wonder at what point I would need dedicated hosting. How many people can be using a think like agapi or other apps we are making at once? As a side note, I would consider bluehost.com as an alternative to godaddy prices, but I am not at that point yet.Secure requests:I am curious if anyone knows the best way to make secure requests to the server? I have been using a method of POST requests to url from the app, and using a hash with seed of the information to make sure that it is a legit request. I wonder if there is a better way to accomplish this task?Monitors:Would it be worthwhile to purchase a 1440p monitor? There are the "4K/UHD" monitors coming out recently, but I dont know if that is too much space where it would be annoying to manage windows on full screen haha. But I would like about a 7" with 1440p im thinking. Would be btter than leaning into my montor all the timeThats all I have for now. Hopefully some people know what I'm talking about with this lol
Hmmm ill look into that then.
Also any references to look at would be great. I looked it up a bit already and all the pros and cons and whatnotYes, I can answer these questions.

ok…..I can't answer most of these, however that monitor is totally worth it :D. I'm always running out of space on my monitor, and its still pretty large(1920 × 1080, don't know the real life dimensions but there are about 32 pixels in a cm or so.), so that monitor would probably be useful. Anyway, if its too large you can always adjust the resolution and let it scale :). Make sure that its large in real life as well though, otherwise it can get hard to look at. Quite often its nice to have a small TV sized screen with 1280x720, as you don't have to be close at all, even though the pixel density is terrible. Just keep that in-mind as squinting to see pixels can definitely slow down working, as your eyes get tired etc.Price for value is the most important to me.
I use dual monitors - one horizontal 1080p (playing games, watching video, etc.) and one vertical 1600x900 (toolbars in programs, writing code, etc.).
