Answer 1

For anything other than development and testing, you'll generally want to run the provider on a server infrastructure that's not hosted on a home Windows machine.

You can either use a commercial provider like iLime or Urban Airship, but there's also a few tutorials and open source solutions out there:

• EasyAPNS (Push notifications using PHP & MySQL)
• How to build an Apple Push Notification provider server (tutorial)
• PHP Apple Push Notification Server
• Programming Apple Push Notification Services (contains details on certificate configuration)

There's also a local test app for Mac OS called PushMeBaby that you can use for development purposes.

There's other solutions like Xtify or Mainline or PushWoosh or more recently Windows Cloud Azur. Easy APN stay the most relevant solution for those who choice to do it yourself (servers integration).
