The only way you need to protect Hoster is to keep a copy of the setup program, so you can re-install it if you have a computer crash. Installing the program on an external hard drive will cause the program to slow down due to access time for the drive. It really is not a good idea to install it any place other than the C:\Program Files folder. As Mindonstrike said above Hoster does access other files in the Windows folder and may not know where to find them if it is installed on a different drive. Hoster also keys on the computer which means you would not be able to run it from another computer.
Hoster allows for 2 installs on your primary and backup computer, so as long as your KMA files are on the external you can switch that drive to the backup computer and continue on.
