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'm wanting to use DB4o on an asp.net MVC project i'm working on but wondering if anyone has got this working on shared hosting plan, have contacted discountasp and asked them and they said go to the forum as they were not sure if they supported it or not or any configuration that would be needed. but the forum wont let my post on because its all filtered to only show comments they like the look of? anyone had any joy with this with another host and one that runs asp.net MVC as it should be run?

View 8 Repliesi have just completed my website in asp.net using visual studio 2008 with sql server 2005 express edition.
my database is mdf file based..
i have uploaded my website in godaddy with the help of cute ftp..
but the problem is that my database is not working..
Is it ok to upload complete website along with database using cute ftp? or i have to create separate database for it and make connections...
i read somewhere that file based website doesnot required any connection, database is simply uploaded along with website..
I was surprised at their NOT having AJAX / ASP.NET support as practically every other shared hosting provider does and it's not like it's all that new, right? So to conclusively confirm that it was a no-go, I put the standard "update timer" sample AJAX app into a sub "test" directory and it works as it should. (The middle section that has the AJAX UpdatePanel updates.) Also, since I did not also upload a BIN directory for the AJAX DLLs I am assuming that this would indicate that the necessary AJAX components *are* somewhere in the shared kernel.

View 1 RepliesI need to run a daily process at a given time. how to do it in ASP.NET/C#? web site is hosted in godaddy shared hosting server.
I've tried with timers but not working. I think this timers get reset with application pool recycling.
I just bought 2 months of godaddy hosting. I've written an ASP.NET MVC3 application using EF CodeFirst. In the application I am using an initializer that will drop/create the database if the model has been changed. I get an error when I try to do this saying "Cannot drop the database 'cellularautomata', because it does not exist or you do not have permission."I assume this has to do with the fact that I am on shared hosting and do not have permissions to drop/create databases. Is there any way around this?

View 4 RepliesMy website/application is in ASP.NET. I use the traditional Session object when people connect so they have their preference, etc. My problem is that sessions were lost very often. I discovered that my hosting company was using load balancing on their servers, so one request on my website can be on one server, and the other on another one.
I tried to store the session data in a SQL Server database, but I quickly discovered that I can't create the needed database on my shared server because I only have one database in my package. Also, there is no guarantee that the rest of the script would have been able to run.
My questions: is there any other way to get around this problem? Should I buy another database only for this? Is there another type of session that I could use? Is there anything else I can use instead of session to keep track of my user when they are connected on my website?
anyone know how to "make work" urlrewriter.net component on IIS 6 ?
Actually i have this web.config section :

And the rule is, for example:
<rewrite url="~/tag/(.+)" to="~/default.aspx?tag=$1" />
It's work on the ASP.NET Developmnet server, but not when i go to my shared hosting web site !!! :(
I 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 3 RepliesI have in the past used Godaddy shared hosting with .net 4.0 and had no problems viewing and logging into the administration pages of a asp.net 4.0 website, using the default ASPNETDB.MDF. I don't remember if there was any changes to the web.config file. I can view the site but can't log into the site throws a error which has no detail just the custom error message explaining to change the custom tags for a more detailed message and even then it don't work get same message.
View 2 RepliesI have a GoDaddy shared Windows hosting plan and I'm running into a small issue with multiple domains. Many people have previously reported such an issue, but I am not interested in trying to resolve that problem altogether; all I want to accomplish is to change the format of my ActionLinks.
Issue Let's say the domain that is mapped to my root hosting directory is [URL]. GoDaddy forces mapping of other domains to subdirectories of the root. For example, my second domain, [URL], is mapped to [URL]. I uploaded my ASP.NET MVC site to such a subdirectory, only to find that ActionLinks that are for navigation have the following format: [URL] In other words, even when I use the domain that is mapped to the subdirectory, the subdirectory is still used in the URL. However, I noticed that I can also access the same path by going to: [URL] (leaving out the subdirectory) What I want to achieve I want to have my ActionLinks automatically drop the subdirectory, as it is not required. Is this possible without changing the ActionLinks into plain-old URLs?
Is there a way to email any error message a user recieves to a mailbox.
Basically if the user recieves one of the asp.net error pages is there a way for that message to be emailed to a mailbox for me to look into?
It is on a shared hosting environment.
I am using gmail server settings to send emails for my asp.net website. Since there is a limitation on number of mails sent per day and limitations on sending to number of users, I cant use this service for long. Even If I use an idea to make sure I use multiple id's to send thousands of emails it will still not work.
I am taking care of all norms of subscribe and unsubscribe options, so that only registered users will receive mails.
I need to build a system which send mails accross thousands of emails * thousands of users per day. . I think this is possible, as emailers in twitter,facebook, orkut, linkeden work on same basis. Many of them use MailChimp Email Service.
But I am hosting my website on shared hosting (www.crystaltech.com) rather than dedicated server (Host Provider suggested me to go to dedicated server for my mail requirement). This host provider charges a lot to me if I include a dll, so I am not able to use dll. Is there any I can send bulk emails without using a dedicated server or dll.(Will use it in only in worst case scenario).My host providers said that they will be able to give service of sending only 800 mails per day. Are there any api providers for that. I have already checked with [URL]
I have developed an e-comm web site in asp.net with sql server as a database. Now I want to upload that web site with DB to hosting server. This is my first web hosting and I don't know how to do it.

View 1 RepliesI have looked for ideas on this and read several posts but none of them seems to be because the problem is that web.com (my host) doesnt allow us to update web.config on their server programmatically.

An error occurred loading a configuration file: Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. (machine.config)
I i want to schedule an asp.net page on my hosting, how to achieve it?
for instance, i have a page named myservice.aspx runing on my website.com/myservice.aspx
i want to run this page on every 24 hours.
I contacted GoDaddy and they informed me that their Shared Hosting accounts only allow partial trust and Report viewer requires Full Trust and therefore I cannot use Report Viewer on my website. (nor do they know of any report tool that will work on their site) I just have a hard time believing that of all the accounts on Godaddy that NO ONE is running any kind reports, I can see some uses for databases with no reporting needed, but not as many as need reporting. Just a quick question, has anyone been succesful with a report tool that will work on GoDaddys shared hosting environment ?
