Hi David,
I am thinking of using shared hosting in place of Virtual Box.

Is it even possible to run a VirtualBox instance on a simple shared web
hosting account without root access?
I’d love to see that!

Hi,
Currently I am running Kubuntu on a 10 year old Dell that I upgraded
to 16GB of RAM (Years ago) and an SSD drive.
I have an old laptop running Win10 that came with a NVMe SSD and I
have since upgraded to 16G of RAM and I added a 500G laptop hard drive
(I have several just laying around).
On the Win box I installed VirtualBox which allows me to create
different vhosts (lamp). I also use the Win box for recording videos
as well editing.
I wrote an Amazon S3 PHP SDK script that allows me to backup my
production websites.
I was thinking at some point in the future I was going to build a
monster computer to do all these things.
Now I am thinking I can buy a simple shared hosting account and
offload the VBox. I can make a subdomain for each of my projects and
configure my Amazon S3 PHP SDK script to backup each project
I still need to record and edit videos.
I'm thinking I only need a simple laptop at that point - 4 cores, 32G
of RAM, and an SSD drive, running Kubuntu.
Your Thoughts?
