About NiteOnTheTown.com
TNL Total Solutions recently partnered with several local internet companies to create a new sort of marketable entertainment site.

NiteOnTheTown.com (NOTT) is a SQL driven website that helps locate quickly what is available in Dayton, OH in terms of dining, drinking, music and all forms of entertainment on any given date or at any specific establishment. For the entertainment business community, NOTT is a timely and economical advertising tool.

For example, let’s say on September 3, that you’re ready to do-the-town. You’re looking for a moderately priced establishment that serves a great steak but also offers a good seafood entrée. You want to dine on a patio. After dinner, you want to visit another spot to hear some live blues and maybe dance and drink a couple of beers. What are your options in the Dayton area?

Every entertainment establishment gets a free listing in NOTT that includes the name, address and phone by type of business and area of town. But, the real benefits offered by NOTT come with its service packages, which are all nominally priced to encourage participation.

This basic package can be enhanced to permit monthly updates — new bands and special events, or special coupon offerings, for example. These updates would be made once a month by NOTT for a small monthly fee. But customers with Internet access will have a major advertising opportunity. They will be provided (at no charge) with a password and template that enables them to update their own NOTT website daily, anytime and anyplace.

A unique advertising tool from NiteOnTheTown.com is its WebCam service. NOTT leverages internet-age technologies for a truly interactive experience. The NOTT WebCams send live pictures to the website from establishments throughout the Miami Valley. Site visitors can see what band is playing, who’s in the crowd, or they can just check out the atmosphere.

NiteOnTheTown.com utilizes cutting-edge open source techniques exclusively, from the server-side PHP3 and Perl scripting, to Linux WebCam boxes. The robust flexibility of free software in an Internet context allows NiteOnTheTown.com to provide virtually anyone with a low-overhead, 24-hour updating Internet cam, linking directly into a database powered website.

Challenge:

• Provide the general public with a fully interactive directory of absolutely everything to do in Dayton, OH. Provide a hosting
• solution for the site that is capable of handling demanding server loads with support for hi-end database features.
  
• Create a low-cost mass-produced web-cam box solution.

Deployment of the webcams into local establishments continues.Tech-Host (TNL Total Solutions' Web Hosting Division) handled the hosting issues, The development team utilized a combination of PHP3, MySQL, Perl, and JavaScript technologies combined with over 300 hours of development time to get the job done.
