How hard would it be to install Vault on a web server with FTP?
I would like to use a remote repository for my personal source code, but short of buying a server and finding a datacenter to put it in, there doesn't seem to be any options. I have an ASP.NET host (with SQL Server) for my web site, but they will not let me run the Vault server installer on their machine. But how difficult would it be to install vault via FTP?
If I can just copy over the virtual directory to my web site, run a SQL file to setup the database, and change a config file, I would definately be willing to pay for Vault.
If this is not possible, are there any commercial hosts out there that people know about who provide source control services?

I know Orcsweb is offering Vault hosting. I've also seen mention of people using webhost4life for hosting Vault servers.
In any case, configuring a Vault server on a hosted machine is possible, but very tedious. The ASP.Net account requires read/write access to a couple of directories ( which location does not matter ), as well as read/write access to some of the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\.
I've seen some hosting providers balk at this, and not allow things to run. Is there any reasoning with the Hosting company to run the installation for you? Things will be much easier.
