Hosting My asp.net site Online to the Server

[DevilHeart]

Hi All,

Actually, I have built my site on my localhost. I develop my site using asp.net and I have a SQL SQL 2012 db hosted on a server here. I need to build a website (hosted remotely) that will both read and write data from this database as well as a couple of other SQL SQL 2012 (maybe 2014 also) databases located on
machines here.

What is the best way to accomplish this via a hosted setup it on hosting provider? I plan to host my site with http://www.hostforlife.eu.

What features do I need to make sure I have when trying to select a web hosting provider?

What is the best method for accessing the databases here from the remotely-hosted website? I want to make sure I'm using the best methods for speed, security, stability, etc.

Will I just access the SQL Servers here directly, or do I need to have a SQL Server running at the web host also some type of a subscription setup? I asked these question in another group and I was told to use replication to
keep a copy of the databases local to the web host for performance reasons.

Any recommandations for quality ASP.NET web hosting providers in Europe? Any that you've had good service and results with?

I have no idea what the best way to accomplish this is and I'm feeling lost.

Thanks in advance for any and all information, I really appreciate it.

You can access a remote sql a database through asp.net, you'll just need to set up the appropriate connection strings, and make sure your web host supports opening the appropriate ports. You say your database are hosted "here" but not sure what that means... At your house? Place of work? Make sure inbound firewall rules are in place for the database as well.

Im curious why you can host multiple sql server databases, but have to have offsite hosting for the Web site? Why not serve the aspnet site from one of your db hosts? Your web application will be quickest if both the database and Web app are on the same machine. Especially if your sites content is driven primarily by the database (ie, using the aspnet membership provider, etc, like an intranet site.)

Hi pcgamer,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I mean I have designed my table on my localhost and I want to host it online. So, when we registered with hosting provider, we can access our database remotely. Is that correct? How do I restore my database? Can I restore it directly to the server?

Thank you for your help.
