Brian,

We have an enterprise version, but that is not as cut and dry pricing as the
hosted.  The Enterprise version handles DB updates as well.  Some of our
larger clients running this system are:

This looks interesting - but is there any non-shared hosting option?  That's
all I saw on the site, and that puts it out of the game.  This is not an
option for us.
