>PS: because of the isolation capabilities of Win2K3, combined with MS's push to have ISPs offer Windows hosting, we may have lots of these opportunities available. If it can work with VFP web frameworks, including AVFP, this could be a big boost for VFP web work. Getting a client to spring for a $40/month web site to run their VFP-based web site would be a no-brainer, especially when SQL Server is included.

I'm not sure if that's really the case. The problem is that most 'stock' ISPs will not allow running COM objects because of the 'potential' security risks. Even with process isolation there's still the security issue of the COM object having access to the system or other stuff on the machine.

The same is true for Web Connection. See the issue is that the ISP might actually let you put something up assuming they don't understand the security issues right off the bat, but without the rights for you as the user to be able to update your code online on your own they'll realize very quickly that you end up being a very high maintenance client <g>...

Been there done that with a few customers who've done this over time...
