depends on what "shared hosting" really means
I think that's the key.
My employer hopes that a virtual machine on a private VLAN, with a fully-encrypted virtual disk, qualifies. This seems reasonable to me, but reasonableness isn't necessarily a part of any regulation.
- thaumaturgy 16y agoFWIW, I think I recall the OpenBSD devs coming out pretty hard against considering a VPS to be "secure" in most senses of the word; they seem to have thought that there were theoretical ways for VPSs to on the same machine to break through their respective barriers. I can't find any links about this though and it's been months since I've kept up on OpenBSD-misc, so I might be full of shit. Personally, I would tend to choose a theoretically-insecure VPS over a vhost environment any day.
- hmahncke 16y agoI don't know of a specific rule that prevents shared hosting - and if you do, I'd love to see it (as I mentioned, by company is in the middle of a similar process). What is clear is that you have to document access and changes, which could be trickier in a shared hosting environment. But if the host itself has processes in place, and documents them to you, you should be fine.
