Generally this is correct. But there are providers such as the Hostsharing cooperative where it is possible to install programs in a shared hosting environment. We do it for years. ;-) > Otherwise: What kind of documentation do you need? Installing ConTeXt on a > (web) server is not different from any other Linux system.

I am very interested in running ConTeXt as a service, too. I am still nurturing the idea of a publishing cooperative for self publishers with a Markdown --> Pandoc --> ConTeXt workflow with a nice web frontend. I hope to make it to the next ConTeXt meeting to discuss it.
