Has anyone succeeded in hosting Open-EMR on BLUEHOST. If not, what low-cost ISP has been successful in hosting Open-EMR? ---

Hi @barringer7777, In the past, we’ve had very limited success deploying OpenEMR on shared hosting platforms. We have recently launched an Amazon Web Services Cloud solution. You can find details about it by reading the [AWS Cloud Documentation](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/tree/master/cloud) > **[openemr/openemr](https://github.com/openemr/openemr/tree/master/cloud)** > > openemr - OpenEMR is the most popular open source electronic health records and medical practice management solution. ONC certified with international usage, OpenEMR's goal is a superior altern... ---

Looks promising…where are the costs associated with launching on AWS? ---

We’re not going for production…we provide Cyber-LMS training services and would like to use Open-EMR as a “sandbox” for our students. ---

@MatthewVita may have some pricing ideas, he’s been the leader of this project. Additionally, if you’re not using this for production, it may be beneficial to use your own servers to host. I have a feeling the AWS production may be a bit pricey for non-production use ---

It’s what we expected…so we’re back to the difficulty of “shared hosting” being problematic. Is there anything out there that we can host Open-EMR? We’re already paying for BLUEHOST. We have our MOODLE site hosted with no difficulties. ---

$5 would be workable…please advise, not using for production so LightSail Cloud would work without HIPAA. ---

Hi @barringer7777, Regarding Headers already sent by, We can check whether the headers is sent through the function headers\_sent() function like the following, ``` if(headers_sent()){ //Do the work if the headers sent. } else{ //Do the work if the headers not sent. } ``` and for more information refer this link: [http://php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.headers-sent.php). You can see some common reasons for “headers already sent” warning message : [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8028957/how-to-fix-headers-already-sent-error-in-php/8028979#8028979](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8028957/how-to-fix-headers-already-sent-error-in-php/8028979#8028979) In run time through php script we can enable the persistent connection in mysqli through mysqli.allow\_persistent variable. For more information about this refer the following link : [http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.configuration.php#ini.mysqli.allow-persistent](http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.configuration.php#ini.mysqli.allow-persistent). But there is also some problems in creating the persistent connections. check here : [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Why\_persistent\_connections\_are\_bad](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Why_persistent_connections_are_bad) Thanks, [ViSolve](http://www.visolve.com/hc) ---
