Hi,

I don't know the first thing about using a programming language on a web server, except for the fact that it lets you run server-side programs that interact remotely with the clients, serving web pages, etc.

I already know that Ada has AWS, with all the libraries for this purpose.

What I need to know is: how do I install Ada in the first place onto the server, supposing that for my domain I use a regular commercial web hosting company? 
I know that many/most web hosting companies provide PHP by default on their systems. But Ada?
Do I have to make a special request to the hosting company?

Is the Ada+AWS system something that the hosting company has to set up for me, or is it something that I can do myself, after gaining access to my web space on their servers?

Thanks

Alby
