I currently have ScreenConnect running on my Windows server at my home office. Since I have a static IP address, this is not an issue. However, I am thinking of moving the product to a Windows server hosted by GoDaddy and have some questions.

* Assuming the Windows server at GoDaddy has the appropriate .NET services, can I just "copy" my folder and file structure to a folder in the website area they provide to me and expect it to run? Or does the product require "installation" on the host machine to run correctly?

* I know I can change the port requirements that ScreenConnect uses, but will the default ports work with GoDaddy-hosted Windows servers? Follow up question to that is, I wonder if GoDaddy would allow the non-standard ports into their hosting environment at all?

* I believe if I get a Virtual dedicated Windows server from GoDaddy it would work, as I then would have the ability to control the entire virtual server (I believe they use VMWare) for my purposes, but I would like to get the "cheapie" shared hosting service in order to justify moving my entire server environment.

Okay, so now you see what I'm thinking of doing. I know I've left myself open to some fun comments, so have at it! I don't mind. The real reason I want to eliminate my home office Windows server is that it makes a racket you wouldn't believe with its four fans, etc.

Thanks for any and all advice, and especially the jokes!

This software will not work on cheapie shared hosting. It will require a minimum of a virtual server. However you can get some cheapie windows virtual servers.

Here are a couple I have used both cost $8/mo for 512mb servers.
