I haven't set up the hosting yet. Maybe I'll set it up after I get a picture how to build the OJ, and can figure out what kind of plan I need.
But It will probably be a shared hosting, 100 ~ 300 MB space, unlimited mysql, with cron job.
Why do you want to know this?

Oh yeah, Another question :P ,
Is there a way to install c++ compiler on a shared hosting?
You know, you can't execute the "sudo apt-get install build-essential" command on shared hosting..

That won't work. You're going to need access to the server for software installation. VPS, Semi-Dedicated, or Dedicated hosting is what you're looking for.

You'll need probably 12GB or better at the very least, enough to install an OS, and the required software.

You're probably looking at $25-$50 a month for a package that will do what you need.

Are you sure you want to keep pursuing this?

Well, Maybe not.
Actually I'm still a High school student :P and I don't have any income yet.
Anyways, Thanks Omniuni and JNettles!

Don't worry, DeimonDB, you've got plenty of time! I'm just in college myself. Start by learning the tools. Get a working version on your own computer. Become intimately familiar with Linux and the various build tools associated with the different languages.

Good Luck!
