[volunteergrid2-l] adding files to the grid

[Jody Harris]

Okay, this brings up something I've been wondering about for a long time.

GoDaddy.com web hosting.

Has anyone ever tried hosting a helper on GoDaddy.com?

$5.00/mo, SSH, Python, unmetered bandwidth, decent connectivity. It'll be on
a shared server, so CPU availability will be flaky, but I've wondered.

For ~$16/mo you can get unlimited storage. I've wondered about hosting
storage nodes on that, too.

- Think carefully.
