I've heard that shared hosting often imposes a limit on files per directory, though obviously this would be different per host.
Generally speaking, is number of files still an issue on modern hosts? I am creating a static-page generator meant to be distributed -- yet if someone has a 500k pages (files, even if small) and this passes some arbitrary shared-hosting file limit, then a dynamic solution would be preferred.
At our current time, do many shared hosts impose file limits?
