Re: [flexcoders] Flex 2.0 Hosting ( Cheap / Inexpensive )

I do not think it would be that simple. Java server configuration can be somewhat difficult. Java hosting never took off. Add just 1 hour of support time per month and the costs of the hosting becomes irrelevant.
 
However, it is feasable by using dedicated machines in the same price range (I am using eSecureData.com - very good value and quality machines, and they do not sell beyond promissed capacity) . You need to  provide preconfigured VMs with complete software stack preinstalled - pretty much the configuration Chris Coenraets described in his blog so that you have free good quality products hosted within either VMWARE or XEN infrastructure and place deployment responsibilities on the client.
 
However, Java + OS has to be sized well beyond php requirements - at least 512MB, with clients needing more memory in most of the cases. With 75% of average server load you would need to charge around $70/mo just to get even - and that is with outsourced email-only support.

Is it really that hard to just pay for a server or a virtual server and
install it yourself?

You can get decent virtual dedicated servers for like $60/month.

It's not hard at all to install fds when you have root access to a server.

Makes me think I should just do it and sell it as a service.

I've checked with CFDynamics. They say "Unfortunately, at this time, an
ETA is unavailable."

It seems to me that it would be in Adobe's interests to do whatever it
can to facilitate making FDS hosting available. A friend of mine thinks
that he may be able to help me out, but I'm sure that there are a lot of
people out there with no options for deploying FDS apps at this point...

I'm not talking about full-scale enterprise hosting - just an Express
FDS equivalent...
