title: Integrating R with existing C# website
body: <p>We have existing website built in C# and hosted on a shared Windows server. The aim is to build a simple app within existing website that would take in some data, entered by user, and process it using some R scripts (some statistics) and publish the output on the website in a static (dynamic?) format.</p>
  
  <p>Basic requirements:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Secure</li>
  <li>Relatively inexpensive</li>
  <li>Low maintenance requirements</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>What are the existing options?</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Does Microsoft offer an out-of-the-box solution, given their heavy activity (Revolution R)?</li>
  <li><a href="https://www.nuget.org/packages/R.NET.Community/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">R.NET</a> could be used if the hosting company (private hosting) allowed R installation on their server (website hosted there). I’m not sure how good this solution would be, however.</li>
  <li>What are the other options apart from <a href="http://shiny.rstudio.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Shiny</a>?</li>
  </ul>
