Re: [CODE4LIB] Guide on the Side
I haven't tried Guide on the Side, but looking over the requirements (and source: https://github.com/ualibraries/Guide-on-the-Side) there's nothing about it that I can see that wouldn't run on my cheap, shared Dreamhost account (or the Site5 account I used for a project a few years ago). It seems like a pretty good application for trying on shared hosting, honestly. Webfaction is only $5.50/mo. and has a 60-day money back guarantee -- there are probably others with free month trials, etc. -- so that would probably be the way to go, if you want to try it out. -Ross.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Guide on the Side
We are trying out Guide on the Side. We use a virtual private server for our website, and it works fine. I don't see anything in the requirements that says you need a dedicated server. We tried it out on one of our shared-hosting sites and it works fine there, too. The installation does require you to run some command-line php commands, so you need ssh access. Regards, Alisak.
