Help with creating secure CSGO site

[snamakool123]

Hey Guys,

So I want to create this CSGO website for fun to learn how to make websites. First of all I want it to have a button which lets users login with their steam accounts and creates a user profile on a secure database. So are there any good tutorials on ways to do this also what programming languages would be required to do this like JavaScript or PHP? Or is it better to do this with like WordPress. I have heard wordpress is not that secure anyways and amateur programmer is not gonna make a secure website but security is the most important thing because money will be transfered in this site.

 

Thanks

Previous web development experience? known languages? Surely you aren't just trying this on a whim.

Step 1 would be a capital. How much are you willing to invest?

 

 

What languages do you know? Do you know how servers work? Who's going to host this "secure" server for you?

Yeah Guys I know HTML, CSS, Java and Python rather well. Also I am probably going to be renting a server from a good web host and host the website on there, also lets say capital is not that much of an issue.

what programming languages would be required to do this

 

Aside from HTML, CSS, and JavaScript which every web developer will learn for the client side, there's a large number of languages you can choose from for the server side. Some popular options include: Python, Ruby, JavaScript, C#, Java, and PHP.

 

As usual, there's no best option.

You could stick with a language you already know rather than learning a new language but it's up to you.

 

There's not really any tutorials we can provide you until we know what language and framework you're going with.

 

security is the most important thing

 

You can write a secure website with any of the languages mentioned above. You can also write insecure websites with any of the languages mentioned above. It's something you'll have to learn as you go and you'll never learn everything. There are many companies out there to help with security as well if this makes it to the production stage.

 

money will be transfered in this site

 

Assuming you're able to get to the point where you're going to support real money transactions, you'll probably use another company to do all the hard work for you. Before you get to this point you've got a lot of work ahead of you anyway.

First off you might want to consider the Legal ramifications of running a gambling site.

What countries you will operate in, the cost of licensing, taxes, so on so forth . . . . . . 

You have about a hundred different things you need to think about before creating such a site.

Also one biggy is that you get the the licensing from the game creator to do this and what royalties you will pay to do this.

Lots of CSGO gambling sites have been seized/taken down so do some research on legalities

Unless you have extensive knowledge in programming then this is really something you should not be considering.

 

Plus don't forget the added costs of servers, redundancy, SSL certificates, Pen testing, sys admins, legal compliance, company registration, etc. Unless you really know what you are doing don't even go there

If your web development experience is small, or non-existent, then try something less difficult. 

 

Firstly, try and develop a website with an overall UI that looks like something someone would enjoy. Maybe learn bootstrap.

Then go from there.

 

I just recently developed a website using PHP, and man was it annoying. I tried implementing bootstrap, and it was a pain for me (I'm a complete novice). I understand many languages, but I found that it was a bit more difficult than I thought.
