I'm looking for an ISP or web hosting company in North America with experience hosting web applications using R on the back end for statistical analysis. Does anyone have experience with such a place?
[This is OT, so please follow up via PM] Well, I have the experience with that you're describing, but I don't know directly of any company that would offer such service. I'm using regular hosting ISPs to host my servers and manage them myself. Technically, this is not really an ISP issue. It is a quite delicate business, though, because you must prevent injection of malicious code that might compromise the server and the commonly suggested approaches just don't work due to the fact that you can compute on the language in R. It works well in applications where you control the code base (e.g. our FastRWeb approach), but I would be very cautious about any system that allows user input that is evaluated at some point.
I hope it is moderately useful.. Cheers, Simon _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
