Tech Need help with a server question

[South East]

I currently have a website and I am trying to create a database of info. It will be sent to the server as an xml file. How can I set up the server to receive this info. My domain and everything is set up with GoDaddy.

Thanks

First of all, may I suggest forgetting about XML and going to JSON? Whoever writes the code for the server is going to be much happier - parsing JSON is orders of magnitude easier and more efficient than XML.

After that - you will need something to store the data (some kind of a database) - either on the server or the cloud (it is usually cheaper and easier to store it in the cloud, if it is a small database - AWS and most other cloud providers have a free tier that makes it cheap and easy to store in the cloud - without the hassle of running a database on your own server). Finally, there needs to be some kind of a program to parse that data and store it in the database - that's usually something that you will need someone to write it for you.

I feel like HCP reading his first Pre Algebra text book.

Did I say reading? I meant looking at.

Sorry about it, but he asked a specific technical question and I was hoping to provide some help since my work involves these kind of things.

How do you know what he is running on the server? IMS, DB2 or ?

I do not, I suggested not running any database on the server and using something like aws dynamodb instead, but the specifics are really up to whoever wired the software and what he is willing to pay
