I have a web site and a web service and I would like to host them somewhere.
I need to use it mostly for testing and so that a some friends who are developing some applications to use the service have access to it. Also the service is using a MS SQL 2008 database.good free or cheap web hosting service for this.
I don't have any experience in web hosting. Recently I've completed developing my Asp.net website using Visual Studio 2010. The website retrieves financial data from Yahoo! Finance, does analytical calculations in code-behind, stores processed data into several databases, and allows users to analyze the stock market using those data. Currently I need to run some programs in Visual Studio so that new data get downloaded every day.
My problem is that I know nothing about how to do web hosting so I can actually get my website on the Internet. I heard that there are third-party web site hosting services, but do they allow you to upload entire Asp.net web pages with all the databases attached? What if I need to go in there, run some programs, and update some data in the databases, do these web hosting services allow me to do that?
If the answers to the above are yes, what are some good web hosting services that allow you to upload (I don't even know if "upload" is the correct term to use) Asp.Net web pages? By the way, my website is coded in Visual Basic, if it makes any difference.
I'm very new in web programming stuff, so my question is about basics. I'm developing a SilverLight application and need to access the database from it. I'm using LINQ to SQL to get data from database and a WFC web service to deliver it to my app. Everything is working fine when I'm running my app within Visual Studio. When trying to publish the web service to IIS - the web service call fails. To make my question simple, I will focus on a brand new web service. Here the steps I'm doing:
Start Visual Studio 2008 -> File -> New -> Project -> Web -> WCF Service Application
Project Name: MyWcfService
Resulting Visual Studio generates a sample project with implemented Web Service "Service1"
Rebuild, start from Visual Studio (host on ASP.NET Development server)
--> Everything works fine, I see my service under http://localhost:52489/Service1.svc link
Now I want to host this service on my IIS (I've IIS7 on Vista x86 PC)
Visual Studio -> right click Project -> Publish -> target location -> Create new web app named "MyWcfService" -> Publish
Just to be sure check my C:inetpubwwwroot folder - now it contains the "MyWcfService" subdirectory with all required files.
Open IE on my PC http://localhost/MyWcfService/Service1.svc
The result is:
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If > the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map. I were trying to remove "identity" section from web.config - same problem. Switching off the firewall does not help either.
Visual Studio 2010. I am learning xml web services using visual studio 2010.
Instead of using the localhost host to run my web services. I am wondering if there are any free hosting websites where I can deploy to. Just to test with.
I was curious if there is a shared hosting platform for asp.net web sites that would allow me to setup a service that would do something at predetermined intervals. Dedicated hosting is not an option due to budget constraints.
So far, it looks like my solution will have to be to set an object in the cache and use the expired callback.
Has any one used the above method? and how successful was it?
Is there a better option or method than this?
I am trying to install just Reporting Services one a different server than the one that hosts the SQL Server 2005 database. Can someone point me to any type of documentation or a step by step instruction that can help. One more thing, none of the two machines is part of a domain.

I am having 2 solutions:
[1] [URL] (this is a dnn website which contains a web service to be consumed in "xyz" website).
[2] [URL] (this is an asp.net website which consumes web service defined in "abc" website). That means this website is having "Web Reference" folder which contains .wsdl, .disco and .discomap types of files.
Problem is - when I see these files (.disco, .discomap and .wsdl etc files under Web Reference folder), they all are having urls defined like [URL]. That means its fix to "abc" virtual directory ?
What if end user or customer wants to purchase my application but want to have some other name like [URL] (the virtual directory to someother name).
In that case; I assume that I need to "MANUALLY" find [URL] and replace to [URL] ?
OR is there any alternate solution for that?
I am planning to build a news publication website that should be automatically scalable when traffic is increasing. I have good experience in developing web applications using ASP.NET and PHP. To move forward on selection of specific technology here are some questions for which I need some clarifications.
My primary intention is to reduce the hosting charges. If we choose LAMP this will cost lower than ASP.NET on Windows. As my intention is to host web application on cloud service, will this make any difference? Means, for dedicated servers we need to pay extra cost for Windows O/S if you compare it with Linux. If we go for cloud servers, will they charge anything for O/S for each instance or will they just charge on computation hours irrespective of Operating System?
Do we have complete control (like dedicated server) on cloud instance to install any other softwares?
Do we need to host web server and and database server on multiple instances when traffic is increasing or will a big size instance can handle huge traffic?
I am tired of the flase advertise, Only recommand on free host servers that you are using, If you can please also post you site url,I need to host my facebook Ifame application, because I didn't succeed to work in development mode (E.g working against the localhost don't render FB tags)If you used cheap server also recommandion and link we be acceptable

View 1 RepliesLets say I have a web service installed on ServerA. I also have a web application hosted on ServerB, completely different domain from ServerA. That web application contains a web reference to ServerA's web service, so consumes it. What happens if the WAN connection between ServerA and ServerB goes down, for whatever reason? I'm not clear if, once the web method is coded into the consuming application, that the server hosting the service has to be constantly available or not.

View 1 RepliesMy scenario is this - I have two ASP.net websites. Both sites run on the same machine and I have implemented single sign on relatively simply using the default asp.net membership provider (Forms based authentication).I have a new WCF service on one site, which will be called from the other site. A user will be logged into the site, but the call to the service will be made from the codebehind following a postback.Can somebody point me in the right direction so that I can pass through the Forms based credentials of the logged in user to the WCF service on the other site? Presently it's passing the NETWORKSERVICE windows credentials.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to put a basic Hello World Web Service in my Go Daddy Shared hosting.
It is a basic default Hello World Web Service that Visual Studio 2010 automatically generates: it works in my local web machine: i can invoke and can see the xml.
I have transferred the Service1.asmx and the Service1.cs file( in the App_Code folder ). I can view the web service page, but I cannot invoke the web service method, and as a result I cannot see the xml file where the "Hello World" string will be in side the <string> element.
Though I can see the web service page, there is no invoke button. How will I invoke or render the content in an aspx page? As the web page has to change the name space, I have changed the namespace to my website address, but still I cannot see or do an invocation and as a result cannot see the generated xml. My question is
1) what should I do so that I can see the return xml value from the web service?
2) what should I do so that I can render the data of the web service in a web page ( for example, in mywebservicepage.aspx)?

View 1 RepliesWe have a component that needs to sit in asp.net that creates a listening socket on a well known port.The reason we have the socket is the asp.net need component needs to received events from external services and other technologies weren't quick or flexible enough.We start the socket listening in application_start,and close the socket in application_end. The issue is if we are receiving http requests to the web site, and modify the web.config, the application_start event is called before the application_end is called,so we cannot open the socket (we get an error about duplicate socket being open). We dont have a reference to the original socket in the application_start after the web.config change, so we cannot shut it down from there.
