Please see info on our FileMaker 13 hosting at:

The problem with WebDirect is not only the licensing cost, but moreso
the hardware requirements for it:

(see "Recommended Hardware Configurations" under the "FileMaker
WebDirect" header)
You are essentially moving the load of FileMaker Pro onto the server
side of things, which is inevitably going to be costly.

I'm not sure any hosting providers have settled on hosting plans yet,
in large part due to the licensing. There's no way (currently) to
allocate a WebDirect license to a specific group of files, so you end
up having the connections pooled across all files. Your best bet
might be to look for a colo arrangement or other situation where you
have dedicated hardware for your files.
