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.
