I believe I refer to sharing a server a few times in my article, so I hope that's clear for most people. If not, then you're absolutely right, this was intended to be for shared environments only. Speaking of dedicated hosting though, they are also oversold from a bandwidth perspective. 100Mbit ports are rarely provided to individual servers and are often shared amongst either entire racks or large portions of the rack. Though they advertise 100Mbit, or perhaps Terrabytes of data transfer, theoretically you're never going to be able to utilise that. Jason, thanks for your comment.

Dedicated hosting isn't anything like this. Granted, the entrypoint for this type of hosting starts at around $119/month on the low end so it requires a different type of buyer.

Though its great that they took the time to upload this software, note that both are free and because of such they should be standard for web hosts Yeah,
