I have a virtual server (see http://vservers.com for details) which was
running BDSI 3.x Unix. This version of Unix is not supported by Rebol (at
least not without a lot of jumping through the hoops to add ELF libraries
and all kinda other stuff). However, BDSI 4.x does run Rebol very elegantly.
So I had my vserver upgraded to the newer version of BDSI and not only does
Rebol run nicely, I got numerous other goodies like mySQL databases, PHP,
etc.
Virtual serving is the only way to go if your budget is limited and your
traffic reasonably low. I'm running over 25 domains off my server right now
with no strain.
Hope that answered your question.
Best,
