We're actually doing WebObjects hosting at computerActive now. We've got
hardware and licenses already since we needed them for development and
deployment of our own work. Since we've got the infrastructure in place, it's
been possible to offer hosting.
We started hosting simply to provide for some customers where we were
hosting apps that we wrote for them, but expanded it to other customers that
didn't want to invest in the licenses costs and the maintenance of databases
and servers.
