Thread:Template talk:Extension/extra parameter "require shell access"/reply (9)

So, if I'm reading that right, of the 1881 recognisable hosts for public wikis tracked by that tool:


 * 837 (44%) use Dreamhost, who provide a managed environment (so no shell, but also no opportunity to add arbitrary extensions?);
 * 526 (27%) use Linode, which is a bare-metal service with shell;
 * 363 (19%) use AWS, which is a bare-metal service with shell; and
 * 155 (8%) use Bluehost, who provide both a shared host (no shell?) and a vps/dedicated host option (shell)

Unless I'm missing something, doesn't that say that ~ 90% of our downstream users either have shell access, or are exempt from extension installation concerns?
