Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Hosting - yet again.

If you look for a hosted server with lots of bandwith, you might also end up at "1und1" (www.1und1.com/hosting), german based hosting company. Euro 49 (roughly $45) per month for a Celereon 1.2GhZ, 256MB, 40GB server including 40GB of traffic.

If you only want to have a website that uses OpenACS but have no motivation to execute SSH, thats a different story. Is anyone out there offering SiteWideAdmin access to an OpenACS installation? Things that jump into my mind:

  • What is the risk of crashing all services on a server, if you only can modify .adp pages?
  • Furthermore, is it really necessary to change any code files to run a decent website for your own (handling the style of the website via CSS and stuff like that).
  • Is Postgres capable of keeping track of a quota for one database (or what is the consequence if you enforce a hard quota on the user directory and let the postgres database run on it)
