I'll second the thought that shared hosting can be a real pain with  
OFBiz. The main exception to that is a hosting company that is  
experienced with OFBiz or similar applications in a shared  
environment. We actually do offer (through Contegix, Matthew Porter's  
company) fully managed hosting of OFBiz on both shared and dedicated  
servers (there are price lists and details on our web site). These  
are meant to be full service things where you don't ever have to  
touch the box, we do all of the setup and maintenance for you. They  
are high quality and fast servers, and we monitor and review  
performance to make sure they stay that way. They also feature data  
protection with redundant disks and regular backups.

So, is it possible to run multiple OFBiz instances on a single box to  
share it? Yes, and it works quite well if your hosting company knows  
what they are doing. If not it can be a REAL pain.
