Where can I find hosting with R?

Are there traditional (cheap, shared) web hosting services that have R on the server?

UPDATE: I went with Dreamhost to this one. At first I tried to create R on a shared server, but I needed their support staff who installed some packages (ex gfortran). After some battles, I was able to get R created from the source, with the exception of the x11 headers, which means that the graphics could not be saved using the png () function. Not big cuts, so I upgraded to a private server package. Their private server gives you full root access to the Debian server, so installing R was as easy as doing sudo apt-get install r-base-dev . Still very affordable for a home project, plus they don’t care about lengthy processes, just using memory (how their private server plan is rated).

You can try Amazon resilient computing cloud. A basic server with R, which can accommodate as many users as you like, runs about ten cents per hour.

Another option is monkeyanalytics.com , which allows you to run R on your server. It also uses Amazon EC2 as a backend, but you don't have to deal with starting or closing instances.
