    campware is not suitable, I would like to know about the too you finally
    install in a sahred server for these list of requirements.

  • Well, cream is completely different thing. It is designed to be
    installed inside of your office, not on the hosting server.
    However due to demand, we have some "untested" solution of cream
    hosting. The only limitation is, it uses different technology and I do
    not know about any provider, that runs 2 different database engine on
    their servers.

    My recommendation is to start with campsite on hosting server (if you
    have difficulties, I can host you on my server) and play with cream
    inside of your office.
