Quick question about permissions with DiscountASP

I'm looking for a hosting provider for a small computational linguistics demo site. It won't be getting more than about a dozen hits per day over the average month, and would exist mainly as something to list on my PhD applications.

The app needs to be able to do the following:

1) Use binary serialization.
2) Make outbound http requests to google and then to sites listed in its search results (several at a time, though I've coded an asynchronous page so it won't lock up the threadpool).
3) Use a good bit of CPU cycles for about 1-2 seconds as it manipulates the text returned by the http requests.

I signed up for a godaddy account before realizing that it won't let me do #1 or #2 because of the trust level it grants the application.

Is this scenario possible here? Would #3 cause me to overrun some type of CPU quota?

 

I can't answer the binary serialization question, but I'm sure someone else can. Outbound requests are not a problem.

It's difficult to answer the third question without quantifying "a good bit of CPU cycles." We do have limitations on CPU use, but if you are talking about a few seconds, those limits would not apply. Our CPU use limits that would cause an application pool recycle are measured in minutes (different values for IIS6 and IIS7), not seconds, and the CPU use percentage is pretty high. Those limits are in place to shut down applications that are out of control and consistently monopolizing resources.

 

Sounds good to me. I'll head on over to the sign-up page.
