You can't run this software in a shared hosting you need a vps. I have 100$ of credit for digitalocean I can sell it to you. 1 vps cost $5 there.
On the contrary this can be hosted on a shared hosting provided it have enough storage for it.
That is not true, you can't run perl in a shared hosting or modify whatever you want you need a vps which is really cheap, just $5, for the use his going to use it is enough, and in digitalocean you can get $100 easily in github student pack and if you don't want to wait you can get $10 from a referral code.
