Hi.. I'd like to create a niche-ecommerce platform, like ebay but between very specific customers for the web, for starters. It would need access to a large DB (so, using AWS or Azure) and I'd love to create a Delphi FMX app to be hosted on a standard Windows (or Linux?) host which would present dynamic pages to the user (based on their search terms).. and then they can choose and then order/buy something.. My questions:
1. Is using Delphi overkill in your opinion? I'm very comfortable with Delphi, but is the hassle of getting an application hosted on a web host too difficult? Looks to me like some hosts (like GoDaddy) don't allow such things. So would just something web-native like Javascript be a better choice?
2. If a web-hosted Delphi application is workable, would you have a particular host recommendation? Is there one you like?
3. And of course, a phone app (both Android and iOS) .. I created a simple iOS app once, about 10 years ago, and even got it in the Apple store, but man were there a LOT of hoops to jump through. I haven't revisited the iOS side of Delphi since, but I hope it's gotten easier, lol!
Thank you for any advice you may have! [heart emoji here]
