I could imagine that for many web applications there are many many
readers and few and infrequent writers. Firebird is, as I understand,
better suited for scenarios where there are a lot of concurrent readers
AND writers, because that's where its MGA architecture shines.

Other engines may be better suited for the "almost read-only" scenarios,
and perhaps they can outperform Firebird by being weaker when there are
many writers.

That said, I can't imagine that many web applications would have
performance problems with Firebird, assuming the database is adequately
configured and indexed.

For web hosts I believe I've heard/read that Firebird's security
architecture could be a problem, but I can't off the top of my head
think of how or why. I also think that it was supposed to be "fixed" in
version 2.5 or the upcoming version 3.0.

My recommendation if you want to host a webb app with FB is to rent a
virtual server.
