As Jim said, they are in the US. I know the RunRev servers have been
hosted in the US for ages, so I presume that was where they were able
to get the best service/price.

Hah! Try being in Australia before complaining about latency!!!

At the moment, the On-Rev server stuff is only available through
On-Rev and you cannot install it on your own server. There has been
talk that they may make it available for download in some form and at
some price later.

This has nothing to do with Rev 4.0 - it just allows you to do
server-side scripting in Revolution instead of PHP or Perl or
whatever....

Rev 4.0 is going to introduce the web plugin. This is a different
approach to On-Rev as it will provide a plugin that people can
download to their computers which will allow them to access stacks via
a web browser. On-Rev does not use stacks, but allow you to embed Rev
scripts into a web page directly.

Here are a series of screen casts that should explain in more detail
about On-Rev:

The final one also shows a glimpse of the web plugin at work.

Cheers,
