Isn't it bad? Given that only admin/power user can change environment variable, this will be a issue in shared hosting right?

  Have you ever seen a shared web hoster that used Windows server edition? Shared hosting usually runs on LAMP. And server admins/devops won't have a problem. Applications will hopefully use variable with a prefix, e.g. App123Debug

    Yes, all the time. Azure / EC2 all provide top class windows hosting. But for low cost shared I am stuck with arvixe and aspdiscount or so... But yeah I have only windows hosting over 10 years . Gives me everything PHP, python, .net , MySQL , mssql. I find Linux shared hosting too restricted. especially with sql server express edition...For me writing .net (actually vb.net) is way faster personally than even C# I use it all the time , I use c# only when some function is missing even then I use c# via library and still keep the vb.net. Though lately vb.net sample codes is very low but easy to convert from c#. Tried python like it but that 4 whitespace or whatever freaks me out. Currently on Go and Erlang learning path... but yeah IIS 8.0 excellent platform for low traffic websites

  As one who's managed a Windows shared hosting environment since 2003 I've yet to encounter a request to set an environment variable.

  There are system variables, as well as user ones. Obviously, the users can set their own user variables.
