You need an ability to run COMPILED srcipts via at least CGI
interface, when FastCGI/SCGI is strongly recommended.

Most of chances you need to access to shell prompt and ability to
upload compiled software, also you should need an ability to
configure the web server to start FastCGI applications and run them.

You may do simplest check and compile tiny C++ FastCGI application
using libfcgi that just prints hello world and try running it on your
hosting system. 

Start from writing "hello world" CppCMS application, uploading and testing
by using "ldd hello.fcgi" what libraries are you missing and then compiling
them statically.

My may check ./configure flags and disable features that are not madatory,
like: --disable-forkcache --disable-tcpcache --disable-crypt --disable-sqlite, depending on your needs.

Also, you may try to work with CGI API, for example compile the
system as "embedded", but it would not have any cache and will not
be able to give high performance as expected.

No, CppCMS is not hosted on sourceforge, it is just a static mirror
of primary wiki site.

So to be on safe side, the best is Virtual Private Server that today
are quite cheep.

Second point, that you probably need to compile as more libraries as
you can statically, if you you would be able not to worry about libraries.

P.S.: I'd be glad to get some feedback on your progress.
