Shared Hosting is a Ghetto (al3x.net)

Waiting for a title: Hacking why is a Ghetto considered harmful for fun and profit.


Clever title. But true. Dreamhost begging for Rails developers to help them run Rails on their shared hosts is a lot like the blighted urban area trying to get a Trader Joe's in their neighborhood instead of another dollar store.


Maybe it is not so widely used with non-PHP stuff because it is so impractical? And wonder why PHP is so successful? So to announce the irrelevance of shared hosting is a bit premature?
