Hi,

I use a regular web hosting service to build a web site under windows .NET.
Now I need statistical functionality on the site, and I would really like
to use R for that. However, I'm not allowed to install anything (e.g. R) on
the host. Are there any implementations/workarounds of R that doesn't need
to be installed, just 'copied' to the server host?


I suspect that your host will consider copying executables onto it to be equivalent to installing them, so I'd recommend asking them to install it for you.

The likely reason for the restriction is so that you can't create security holes; you'll need to be careful to run R in a way that allows you to ask it to do the things you want without allowing users to ask it to do whatever they want.
