Who are some of the reputable and/or stable geo-ip location service providers? I'm specing out an application that needs this functionality, and whenever I google geo-ip I get a ton of hits, but it's hard to tell who the legit providers are and who the fly-by-night folks are.
Ideally I'd like something that can run without a call to an external API (i.e. regular database updates), but would be interested in hearing about experience with providers who offer live/http services. If it ran in PHP that would be great, but so long as it could run in a *nix environment that's fine. I'd prefer a paid service from a reputable provider than an awesome free service that could vanish tomorrow (free services are welcome, just convince me they're not going to vanish).
Maxmind has a free and pay for use version of their service. It's excellent, has a Pear class you can use Net::Geo_IP (IIRC). Just install whatever version of their DB you need and you're all set. Have used it many times.
Give them a look as well.
Maxmind
Try Geonames: you can download their database and then maybe index it with Solr or something to give you a service isolated from the outside world and which you can update on a needs basis.

I just started a project in a company, they had it hosted on Google App Engine and the app was developed in Java. The thing is that this code was totally unreadable. So I've came to the conclusion that the best solution would be start it all over.
Because it is a Facebook App, one approach would be to stop using Java and start using their available PHP SDK. But, Google App Engine still doesn't work well with PHP, we can't install Frameworks like Yii without workarounds, etc.
So I think the best solution would be change the place that we are hosting the application. It needs to be a host for scalable PHP applications.
I've researched a little bit and found people talking about Pagoda and appfog.
Do you have any suggestions? What is the best solution considering: price, efficiency and also it needs to be easy to use. I don't have a lot of experiences managing servers, I usually have someone on the company that takes care of all of that for me.
My best advice would be to choose a standard Cloud provider like DigitalOcean, VPS.net or AWS. You get full access to the server to configure and install anything you like, and they often come with pre-built server images with PHP/MySQL/Apache already configured and ready to use.
Heroku has PHP support to https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-php and it's ideal for FB apps https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/facebook

I have developed a beautiful website in Drupal 7. During hosting it to main server, I realized that the server doesn't have any database facility in it. It has php support only. I want to host the website here.
I found some converter to convert php into html but this doesn't seems a good choice.
Somebody please tell me the better options for this scenario.
If you had another server or access to another platform that does have Database technology, you could just use that as the database host. They don't have to be located on the same host. Look up services such as: FreeMysql Hosting
A google for "mysql host" would turn up quite a few options
With that said, I'd just move host as earlier suggested
It is apparently possible to use some flat files instead of a database layer but it is not recommanded at all because of many aspects, space, performance, security, etc.... Some people are saying that every single people who has used flat files for BD and/or content management has regretted it in the end.
As choroba said, change provider to get a DB.

I recently tried using 000webhost.com as they are free and offer MySQL and PHP. But uploading a cakephp project, results in a 404 error. This is because they don't support mod_rewrite. I would prefer a free webhost, but I am willing to pay too. Does anyone know of a webhost that works with cakephp?
You can turn mod_rewrite off in CakePHP.
Every host that I have used supports mod_rewrite. It is pretty standard, really. If in doubt, email sales and ask before signing up to something. But really, any paid web host should do.
Use HostGator. It costs a penny
As your question already defines, you just need a webhost that supports Apache (PHP) an MySQL.
Search a host that fits to your requirements, and check Google for good companies.
If you want to make sure they support mod_rewrite you can always contact them,
so you have directly and idea of how good their support is.

At my company I have to do a lot of domain registration.
Is there a way for me to write something in a common web-language e.g. Ruby/Python/PHP that would allow me to buy a domain name from my own custom web-interface? In essence I'm looking for an API that would allow me to register domains.
Any ideas?
If I understand correctly, you want to create a web interface to register domains from a variety of domain registrars?
Most of these companies have published APIs or web services to allow just this use case, so you'll need to check with each one you deal with and find out what they offer, and how to use them. Many will also offer client libraries targetting their API, in a variety of languages, so your choice of development tools will be informed in part by the availability of such libs.
It's also possible, that you will find plugins for Rails or Django that'll get you started - but I haven't checked.
If you are dealing direct with registries, as distinct from registrars, you may be able to use their EPP implementation.
I personally can recommend www.opensrs.com. They provide APIs for PHP and Ruby. With these APIs you can order DOMAINS, EMAIL HOSTING and SSL certificate. See http://www.opensrs.com/integration/api for more details.

I need a free bug tracker for my small project. I need keep track of bug, todo list and test case. Any suggestion?
Check out mantis http://www.mantisbt.org/
If it's a small project, though, you might want to think about using something with less overhead than a PHP-based system. Are you the only person working on it? A whiteboard and post-it notes might be less upkeep and could ultimately save you time and energy that would be better spent on the project itself.
Redmine is coded in Ruby, but if you can install it, I would highly recommend it.
If you are the only user checkout Task Coach: http://www.taskcoach.org/
It is very easy to use, and works great. Runs on all OS's
Check this, it contains a seeding server included is tested:

How about CandyCane which is port of Redmine into CakePHP.
I wish it can meet your expectation.
