I think I was too extreme in that statement. It should be "Not possible to run on most shared commercial hosts"... I'll change that. Most (probably just about all) hosts aren't running Webware, but you'd just install it yourself. You don't have to be root to install anything except mod_webkit (which you don't have to use) and maybe do some of the configuration for mod_snake or mod_python -- but you don't need to use those either. If you get a dedicated server, you can definitely run multiple websites, off the same AppServer, or multiple AppServers. ModRewriteRecipies on the wiki has a little about doing this with virtual hosts. There are hosts that allow you to get what looks like a dedicated server, but is actually shared among several people -- less power than a dedicated host, but all the flexibility and it's cheaper. > --- > Patrick K.
