We no longer rely on managed shared virtual hosts as application servers. Consider:

Setting up your own server: - Pay for the Mac Mini + Time Capsule - Set up Amazon account with credit card - Sign up for AWS/S3 service, with auto-billing - Configured with Apache 2, MySQL 5, PHP 5 - Place behind your firewall on DSL connection, enabling TCP on port 80 - Set your domain's DNS records to point to Mini

Capabilities - Box handles 500-1,000 visitors per hour (no monthly cost) - Backup Drive automatically backs up all content hourly, saving older versions for disaster recovery - S3 stores all heavy content for distribution; handles HTTP serving of content to unlimited clients simultaneously at up to 500 KBytes/second (delivery of 100GB content costs less than $20/mo)
