Hey folks,
I understand the rule about no hosting discussion, and im not looking for a discussion but a suggestion. Iv looked through the list of hosts in the stickied topic, and nobody seems to offered hosting with an Oracle database.

Any suggestions where I could find a cheap host (im only looking for database for less then a month) who offers Oracle?

Thanks.

Not sure you can get Oracle cheap. None of the providers I used offered such a backend, as far as I know, but it doesn't mean you can't find one.

My own host wont install it due to conflictions with other software. I was prepared to spend $100USD for it - so a few on those Google list might be good unless some Irish provider is able to offer it similar price range.

Thanks!

$100???
Why not just host locally if its for just a month? Does it need to be Oracle?

Could you run it on an Amazon EC2 instance?

you would be best running a trial version on your own machine.
You are not going to get a "cheap" Oracle hosting solution. Well not any I know of!

I'm afraid hosting recommendations are also not permitted.

To do Oracle right is extremely expensive, we've only deployed it a handful of times, and in every case for large companies or mobile operators.

Grab a trial/free version online and test locally or ( I can't recommend a host here ) but if you google in Ireland only for a 'DBA host' you'll find an Irish specialist (ymmv)

Was prepared to pay $100 as I can get it back fairly quickly. Anyway, iv decided to use a different way. Setting up Oracle, php and Apache was proving to be troublesome.
