All depends. If you're product is to go to hundreds of customers,
then the cost of them all having to buy high end servers if much
more than the developer time. Plus a lot of them won't buy if it
means a server upgrade. Like I said it all depends on the what kind
of websites you are working on, or what your customers expect. There
are lots of different angles on these things.
Don't get me wrong, when I free lance I have to do Cat/DBIC/
Whatever, doesn't mean I enjoy or agree with it.
I have had several Cat apps on an $8/month host for several years now.
Catalyst apps don't need high end (though they do usually need a
persistent execution of some kind; modperl, fastcgi, etc; RoR and some
PHP stuff having the same need has helped get fastcgi on many budget
hosts). Just appending that to the thread for anyone who comes in to
read this and gets the impression that anything else is true.
