License & Installation for Hosted Solution

Avatar

Level 1
I deploy my small applications (Tomcat with PostgreSQL) in a
Hosted environment (eapps). I pay all of $30/month so I don't
command multiple processors. All I do is drop WAR's into Tomcat
webapps! I am concerned about the OS versions of Flex Data
Services. Do they need to do an installation? They have: Operating
Systems - CentOS 4 Linux (white label version of Red Hat
Enterprise)



If this is a problem are you aware of a hosted solution with
Flex Data Service, Tomcat, JBOSS & PostgreSQL?

This is an important question that I would love to get a
straight answer to. I have been trawling the web trying to find an
answer to this to see what kind of hosting plan I need to get to
run FDS. I cant seems to find a definitive answer! Now from the
bits of information I can gather and through intuition I know that
with a VPS I can install and configure FDS since you download FDS
as an OS dependant executable and not as a webapplication archive -
yet as I understand it Flex Data Services is only a webapplication
that can run within Tomcat as seems to be the case with the demo
installation - is this correct? If so why can I not install the
application on a standard shared tomcat host?
