Yes, the same way the current height of the Matterhorn is 4478 meters.

Yes you are. Seaside hosting compares better to Amazon S3 but you are
limited to one virtual machine and can not add stuff yourself (like a
database). Google App Engine intentionally restricts itself to a very
small subset which they can scale.

SeasideHosting is just _ONE_ machine. It is intended to be free. It is
not intended for productive applications.

Cheers
