Put your study online

• A working build of the viewer (obviously at this point it should be complete and ready to pilot)
• Somewhere to host it.
• May be optional FTP client (The one used in the example)

You will learn:

1. Find a host
2. Whether or not you should secure your site
3. How to upload your experiment to your new host
4. Tips on sharing your experiment

• Consider whether or not you want a secure site
  • Links to secure sites are less likey to be considered spam, so extra care would have to be taken if emailing links to your study (especially if you use a free subdomain).
  • There is no free option for a secure host which uses php. However if you are using formspree or something which allows for static webpages you may be able to use a popular web builder site (however it would have to suport JavaScript).
  • Hopefully your university provides you with webspace. Some don't, and they know who they are, and you should definitely shame them for it. It's not the 90's.
• How fast is the host?
  • If using free hosts, you should try multiple hosts and just see which ones allow faster downloads.
  • Be aware that people sometimes use free hosts to serve files, so these hosts throttle download speeds.
  • Look at what the host offers, they will fight against users treating their servers as file servers.
    • If their disk quota is low, that is probably a technique to fight against bad actors and they might be less likely to throttle.
