Google had launched a new method for verification called Google 2-Steps Verification . This method  can upgrade your Google account security by providing two steps of verification. Every devices that you use for log in to Google need extra secure password. So, before you can insert your regular password to log in, you need extra password that securely generated by Google.

So I tried following PHP functions to built connection with MySql. $mysqli ...

I have a project with my friends and need to lunch an app through server with public IP. Because of short of money, we prefer to choose cloud service rather than dedicated server, beside the app still doesn't need much computing power. I searched on Google and found some articles about cloud services which is nice to be tried. DigitalOcean offers lower price than AWS for the same specs. AWS may give you price which three times higher than DigitalOcean does for the same specs. We can see benchmark scores which is published by Serverbear  for DigitalOcean and AWS. Benchmark scores for smallest plan on DigitalOcean (1 CPU, 512MB, $5/month)  at January 2013 until January 2014 can be seen here,  http://serverbear.com/1988-512mb-ssd--1-cpu-digitalocean . Benchmark score for AWS Micro Plan (1 CPU, 613MB, $14.4/month) at Juny 2012 until Juny 2013 can be seen here,  http://serverbear.com/1988-512mb-ssd--1-cpu-digitalocean .
