myWebBasedComputer is currently located on a shared (LAMP) hosting platform from 1and1.com. Users must be prevented from writing server side programs, since a server side program could easily do something like delete everything.

After logging in, a user is directed to a web page which provides a user interface that allows the user to perform file operations on the server.
