I am wanting to use winbugs (and the package that calls it: R2WinBUGS) and host the app on shinyapps.io, has anyone done this? Will this even be possible? Thanks!

Sorry, but I don't think that is possible. At least it is not
trivially easy due to the "Win" in "WinBUGS" and ShinyApps.io is based
on Linux. BTW, I doubt if WinBUGS still "wins" -- it might have
completely "lost" :)

If you want to use it on your local Windows machine, that should
definitely be possible, though.
