You decide: ... uh-oh, I need a web hosting solution where I can install
my own software including aserve... AWS? Or do I misunderstand what they
are offering?

Ideas welcome, but plz think "scalable".

ps. I have ported my WYSIWYG math editor to take keystrokes from a web
page and return TeX-quality HTML using jsMath. That got selected over
MathJax because MJ goes from TeX to MML before going to HTML (not a big
deal, I could generate MML) and because MJ does not yet have the
extensions to decorate an expression that jsMath does, and I need those
for didactic purposes. k

I've heard of more than a couple people using SBCL on Amazon's EC2
virtual server service. I don't know if Allegro CL will work, but it
would be cheap & easy for you to find out. I've been pretty happy with
using Amazon's other AWS services (particularly S3) from CL.

Thx. It occurred to me I am already using S3 and would prolly use their
ecommerce if I start charging so I may as well start with AWS.

Seconded. I'm running a reasonably heavily loaded Hunchentoot
server on Slicehost and am happy with the service.
