I have a few domains and some space available on a we server that I have had for ages but never really used. Its mainly meant for website hosting and it works pretty well for WordPress and similar services.
Could I host any self posted programs on such a server and what should I search for when researching options?
I can set up a database and upload files to the ftp server but i dont believe that i have a C panel or can run ssh.
