30 sites between $25-30/month seems profitable enough for one box. ($750-900/month).
But it's still a pretty mute point. If the site's data is mission critical or just plain private, you are obviously not going to outsource to shared hosting. Shared hosting to me is for marketing based sites and/or non-critical applications. If a company has enough money to _pay_ for an application, they will not be cutting corners on the server. (For speed and stability issues alone) Matt do you know of any hosts who offer secure j2EE shared hosting? I'm curious as to prices and what not.

You are correct in that regard except for one subtle point. The shear amount of overhead required to give each customer their own instance of CFMX on a J2EE server makes shared hosting unprofitable in terms of the normal shared hosting economics. Just to break it down with numbers. Each CFMX instance is supposed to take about 30megs of RAM each. Since it is generally tough for an application to use more than 1gig of RAM on a 32bit machine that means only about 30 people could be hosted on the same machine. -Matt On Thursday, July 31, 2003, at 04:56 PM, Samuel Neff wrote: > > Certainly CFMX 4 J2EE can be secured just as well as any Java app can > since > that's what it is, and with the multiple CFMX instances support this > would > be great for middle-tier shared hosting (between regular shared and > co-location). > > Can I have dibs on the intro for your new website?
