Hi. I am currently working on my Master's thesis project and I have decided to switch from Flash to Processing to accomplish it. The multiuser java applet works on a local network, but for my thesis, I purchased hosting space through slicehost.com . They allow me root access with the ability to directly access the applet through an IP and socket, which is needed for my multiuser application to work.

I need to set up some kind of web server so that I can actually access the site I've created. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what I should install on the host or how I could go about doing that? As for now, it's completely bare, and I don't know where to go from here. If extensive work is required, I am willing to hire. Thank you for all your help.
