CouchDB on Windows?

Question

I started exploring CouchDB and I am interested in following:

1. Is there or will there be a Windows install?
2. If there is, is there a shared hosting provider that offers CouchDB?
3. Not knowing much about it, can it be somehow embedded in my application or bin deployed (don't laugh).

Answer 1

1. The most reliable source is the CouchDB download page
2. There are several places offering CouchDb hosting. Besides Cloudant, you can use most Infrastructure-as-a-Service parties like Google, AWS, etc.
3. This question was asked (and answered) elsewhere on StackOverflow here and here.
