I have a Drupal site configured to use the Apache Solr module for searching. I developed it using a local server on my machine. This works fine once everything is indexed.

I need to make this live, but I have shared hosting, which doesn't support Tomcat.

What can I do in this situation? Does the Apache Solr module support running the webserver and Solr server on different hosts?

    Most shared hostings will not allow you to run solr on it, what you can do is search for a solr host for your site, and link your site to that host. in other words. your solr host could be on a different machine/host.

    @RajeevK Hosting recommendations are off topic for this site.

You can't run a solr instance on a regular hosting service; the most of them give you a database server and Apache Server.

However, you can use a Free or Paid solutions like OpenSolr, for example.
Once you have this configured, you just need to copy and paste the Solr URL into your Drupal Solr configuration.
