Hello guys

I would like to create an app that ask people to create an account on a Server. Once the account is created the app has to read data from the server and save data on this server.

Have you got any advices to make something like this? Any advices about  what is the best server choise? Do you know any tutorial?

Thanks a lot in advance

Take a look at Coronium (corundum.io) which is a server you can install on AWS or Digital Ocean and specifically supports Corona SDK. You can easily manage user registration and login and save/read data using MongoDB.

Feel free to ask here or on the Coronium forum if you have any queries.

I haven’t used it yet, but Coronium sounds like a great solution – fixed cost and if you need server-side code, you can stay in Lua. 

If you’re interested in other options, google for “mobile back-end as a service” and you’ll see a bunch of commercial services (just pay close attention to the threshold for their “free” service offering, as the jump from free to not-free is often incredibly steep, like from $0 to $100 per month with nothing in between).

As for tutorials, if you’re familiar with Corona already, take a look at the Sample Code that is included with the download, there’s a Networking folder with lots of good examples.
