Separation of the CMS hosting from the web hosting is in my opinion the preferred embodiment of a CMS - for may reasons:
1. logical separation of functionality
2. opportunity to use best-of-breed solutions - which may not run on same OS
3. better operational risk management
Client-side CMS with tools like FrontPage seems rather antiquated today. The web is today about distributed authoring and viewing. I would look into getting another hosting account from a company which focuses on CMS hosting - either open-source or commercial. Make sure that the CMS can publish content to your web server. I personally like the business model of usage-based pricing - like a couple dollars per month per managed page. Most hosted providers unfortunately charge much more - like $1000 or more per month.

I'm new to CMS solutions but am helping to research options for a customer and stumbled across this mailing list.We have a customer whose site is hosted in a shared environment and cannot install a CMS on that server. We started to look at client side packages but have not been able to find much in that area. Ideally this would be open source but I'm interested in finding out more about what this would mean. There were some previous posts a couple of years ago on this topic to this list, I'm hoping that something has come up since then. I've found a couple of articles on the topic but no answers so far.
