Pete,

Unfortunately I cannot.  I haven't personally used a shared hosting  
service.

512MB RAM sounds pretty low.  Assuming it's a Windows server, 512MB is  
likely needed just to run Windows.  I'm assuming SQL is on another  
box.  If not, then MSSQL itself will want RAM.  Note: If MSSQL costs  
extra, you can always go with a free DB like MySQL or PostgreSQL.  I  
use MySQL for some FarCry projects and it runs quite well (and  
requires less resources than MSSQL).

Personally when I run a server that has Windows, MSSQL, and CF (all on  
the same box), I don't like to run anything less than 2GB RAM.   
Fortunately RAM is cheap.  The downside is that most VPS solutions  
charge way too much for RAM (it's disgusting  how much they charge for  
it when the RAM is so cheap to buy).

All of my servers are my own.  All of my clients have their own  
servers.  I only have one client who uses a VPS solution.  They use  
Crystaltech.  The server is slow as a snail, but luckily FarCry's  
object broker caches most of the data - allowing the site run quite  
fast.  That particular VPS has 1GB RAM (windows & CF) and their MSSQL  
is on a separate shared box (with WAY too many accounts - plus they  
never ran a single service pack on the MSSQL box which is a security  
concern for me).

Good luck.
