Fast & Dirty Java GUI building on 2017

Java Gui of Choice (2017) So first of all, yes, Javafx is still a thing. You want to build a gui for your Java application? You don't have many options, AWT, SWT and Swing are dead, JavaFX is the official way to go for a Java developer. Yes, you can have an HTML gui for your java application, and that is a perfectly valid choice, which should be accomplished by using Vaadin or Apache Wicket, but those options force you to deploy your gui with a web server which could be uncomfortable for many a developer.

Sync / Backup files

Backing up my pictures/music/software etc is an issue i think about from time to time but never got to implement a method of doing ... till now. Motivation ?

I won't tell you which hosting company to choose, I will attempt just to clarify the picture. What are your Hosting options ? Shared Hosting You can choose shared hosting - obviously this one will be the cheapest option. In this category you might even find free hosting options, with or without ads on your site. Although this option sounds great for beginners as it is cheap and is comes with many promises from the hosting company (unlimited bandwidth, unlimited disk space etc.), there are no free meals, and as you are not alone on this server ( shared hosting), you don't really know who your neighbors are. So nothing is guaranteed, you might have a neighbor which takes lots of bandwidth, so you will actually have less to use etc. You might have a malicious neighbor which will attempt to hack your site using the common host
