Deploying "any binary" might mean hooking it to system startup, so that it gets started automatically after reboot. Have you ever tried to have your own daemon on a shared host in any decent hosting company? Forget about it - or just imagine you are an admin of such a server and you have hundreds of clients with such brave ideas. > So an AWS server will do.

We are talking about shared hosting. I'm not sure if redirecting can be set up easily in this case. With the companies I've been working with so far, this was not possible. AWS is an excellent solution, but in practice requires full control on the given host. That does not work with the majority of hosting companies out there. -- Maciej Sobczak * www.msobczak.com * www.inspirel.com
