I'm using GoDaddy and would like to have MongoDB for my pet project.. but I don't really think its possible, since it has to be running the Daemon... but.. it doesn't hurt to ask, is there a way?

No, there'd be no way to install and run it if you are only using shared hosting account. You would need the ability to log on and make changes.

However, you could always look into alternatives like using an external MongoDB hosted service such as MongoHQ. That way, you can still use MongoDB. The downside is that you'll most likely end up having to pay more for the service.

Hi i am also facing same problem. wanna build a new website using mongodb/couchdb and using mongoHQ service is too costly for a startup firm. Is there any other way to do that? can I host a site in my home computer? what are the steps involved other than setting up the server/security softwares? Any help would be appreciated.... Same way If I get information about apache couch db that will be great
