What will be the distinction between 'shared' and 'dedicated' hosting?

How in are they going to get 'shared' hosting working with such a silo-ed vertical setup? Are they going to be assigning customer sites to machines ala Dreamhost et. al.?

Will they end up paying for separate Windows Server and SQL Server licenses to run each 'dedicated' site in its own VM? Are they going to be manually migrating customers who exceed the size of what they can handle in one VM?



Fog Creek is running the hosted version and they already have the infrastructure in place running FogBugz on Demand. And I'm confident enough to guess that none of the hosted instances will have anywhere near the traffic of SO.


Totally forgot about FogBugz on Demand, that mostly explains how the 'shared' hosting will end up working (though doesn't FogBugz use mysql?)


On Demand uses SQL Server, but yeah, licensed FogBugz can run against mysql.
