You are unlikely to be able to run any software not already supported. On a typical shared web hosting service, the server hosts multiple sites all using a common set of software. Whilst I believe it should be technically possible to install your own binaries in your own storage space, in practice I would expect most shared hosting providers to prohibit this (either in their ToS or by technical restrictions - typically the server would be configured to not execute binaries outside of certain system wide shared directories) and this would impact on their more expensive services they'd rather you buy if you want to do this. In my limited experience, the larger the hosting company, the less likely they are to be able to accommodate you - with only smaller companies with manually (or semi manually) managed servers having the capability. Have you tried asking GoDaddy if they have a server with RRD Tools installed that they could move your site to ? -- Simon Hobson Visit http://www.magpiesnestpublishing.co.uk/ for books by acclaimed author Gladys Hobson.
