Developer Web
The SourceForge.net developer web service provides a robust web server platform (similar to our project web offering) which can be used to:
- Host static HTML content about you and your interests, such as a Resume or CV, or a website about your hobbies.
- Deploy third-party Open Source web applications, such as a Blog. (We also provide a number of popular Open Source web applications for your immediate use through our Hosted Apps offering.)
- Test code when working to develop web-based applications.
Developer web is only available to members of projects hosted on SourceForge.net.

Features
- Developer web runs from our project web server pool. Our project web servers frequently handle more than 50M hits per day; we handle server scaling, load balancing, and performance tuning.
- The developer web platform has been standardized on CentOS 5.x Linux, running Apache 2.2.x.
- Support for many programming languages, including PHP (via mod_php), Perl, Python, Tcl, Ruby, and shell scripts.
- Developer web content may be uploaded using our File management service or be managed directly using our Shell service.
- Each user is allocated the USERNAME.users.sourceforge.net VHOST (virtual host), which is used to serve their project web content.
- Common web server features are provided, such as mod_rewrite, Server-Side Includes (SSI), HTTP Basic Auth, and custom error handler support.
- Web analytics are available using Piwik, part of our Hosted Apps offering.
- Service usage is not restricted by quotas.
