I am developing ASP.NET applications in order to build a portfolio, im using MS SQL EXPRESS databases, do i need a hosting account that allows multiple sql databses or does SQL express fit in to your application, eg as many as you like in as amany applications. I am asking this because i know MS SQL server is a different thing from MS SQL EXPRESS server and hosting companies say stuff like 1 MS SQL databse and stuff. I have multiple applications that wont need the real MS SQL databse because there not live just portifolio stuff.
Can somone sugest a ASP.NET hosting company please a cheap one.
I am currently developing an asp.net 2.0 app which uses form authenication now implemented in a sql server express mdf database file. I wonder if there will be problems when I want to deploy this app on a hosted server from a hosting provider. I have the impression that hosting a SQLexpress user instance is currently not supported by hosting companies. Is this correct? Should I revert to an msaccess database instead (we don't want to pay extra for full blown sql server storage). Ronald
Hi guys, I hope this is the correct place to post this question. 1) My website makes use of the Membership and Roles of asp.net 2. 2) I have uploaded my website to a shared hosting server, which doesn't support sql express (mdf files). It does support mysql, so I used a custom Membership provider for MySql. 3) It worked greate on my local computer, however (!!) it still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file in the AppData folder. 4) Obviously, when I tried to run it on the website, I got an error. My questions: Why my website still creates a aspnetbd.mdf file even if I am not using it anymore for the Membership ? How can I disable it, in order for it to run on a server which does not support it ? Thanks, Itye.
I've created a new website using the new Visual Studio 2005 Express edition. This site uses SQL Server Express (free software) as a storage for personalization data, etc. Now I want to deploy my site, but here it ends for me:My web site hoster does not support the SQL Express edition in a shared hosting environment. I think most people have a website running in a 'shared hosting' plan. How can this large group enjoy the new Express line when SQL Server Express is not supported? "SQL Server Express is not a part of the SPLA SPUR (Services Provider License Agreement)", they all say. Here it ends for me, my ISP and their licence supplier. Even at Microsoft's Response Management Team, 'no' is the answer. What to do now? Move on to an expensive 'dedicated hosting' plan? Write a membershipprovider for MySQL?I feel as if I was given a free ticket for a nice journey but there's no traffic possible. Who can help me out here? What can I do...
All-- Please help. I have deployed my site to my shared host and I am getting the following RTE... An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file... ..App_DataCommerceDB.mdf failed ...and I cannot find the issue. Note that I have given Full-Permissions on root folder for the IUSR account and for the ASPNET account. The full error message is below. Anyway, do you have an suggestions? My web hosting provider has advertised that they do support SQL Express 2005. What exactly do I need to ask them to do in order to get this working? Please advise. Thank you. --Mark Kamoski

Hi - I am about to sign up with a new hosting company and I wanted to check my use of Express edition would be ok with their setup (full version 2005), they replied:
---------- yes the formats are the same but some functions in the Express Edition are not supported by the full Version as the Express Edition is for development only. We cant say if you will run into any errors as we don't know what you do and which functions you are using. ----------
Is this true - I figured it would be more likely that the the Express edition represented a subset of the full versions functionality and since they produced the same format, would be compatible in this direction. It smells of BS to me but i just wanted to check with the experts...what do you reckon?
I have developed asp .net wbsite with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and Crystal reporting. I want to know that whether i can deploy my website with SQL Server 2005 Express Edition? If yes, Please say SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is a local database version like MS Access or server database version. And also give me name of website or server name on which i can host my website.
For the second time in as many months I've been asked the question. What is the license requirement for me, the service provider, for offering my clients the ability to use SQL Server Express?
I understand the license to say that as long as I'm registered (no cost) there is no further licensing needed in order to offer this to my clients.
Could someone clarify this for me? If I'm incorrect I'd appreciate the right answer.

What is needed for a hoster / hosting company to be able to host .Net applications with SQL Server 2005 Express database?
My questions regarding this issue basically are:
If a hoster has several sites hosted on a server, can each one of them have its own SQL Express database? Or, do they have to be migrated to full SQL Server?
What is with the Upsize Tool for SQL Server Express (or something like that) - is it available? Generally, how do hosters do their hosting - do they have SQL Server SPLA signed? Or do they just have SQL Server 2005 Express and allow users just to copy their web sites and databases to server?

I already copy web site include the app_data into my web hosting, but unfortunately i dont know the connections strings???? when i ask the provider they told me to use the management studio for the databse for connection into their server.
i also noticed if i install the application which use sql server dataabse it can be install the database including the tables and the data, so how is it i want to make my web site including the database be like installer. Like CommunityServer Forum? i just install into web hosting..is it possible?? How the way?? Thank you
I recently come to problem. I want to deploy my web site, which uses SQL2005EE extensively, so I began searching for host, SHARED HOSTING solution. I haven't find one offering SQL2005EE on .NET2.0 final frameworkI have been told that there isn't ONE host which would offer SQL2005EE on Final .NET2.0 shared hosting, that it is illegal! Only if the shared host provided is free, which is insufficient in my needs (free hosts have low trafic/disk space etc).Is it true? If I pay for hosting, I can't have SQL2005EE as an option in their hosting plan? Just SQL2005 full as an option? This way I need to pick up some expensive shared hosting plan?How you ppl solved this problem?
I have a asp.net 2.0 app that has a sql server express backend. I have been scratching my head for weeks trying to find a good wasy to encrypt my connection string. I store the string in web.config (which in itself is in theory "safe" because it's not servable) and I have scoured the web to try to find a simple way to encrypt the connection string. Even using user store would require running aspreg_iis.exe on the host with a command prompt (which clearly I cannot do). It seems that everyone's solution requires running a command prompt executable on the server.
So I am left to wonder what everyone else does. I am not comfortable using just the web.config because a determined hacker could get to that info. Then again, a determined hacker could get into any system , I guess. There are no credit card #'s stored in this app, but in theory there must be a way. I run all access to the db through stored procedures with permissions, for whatever it's worth.
I have a SQL .bak generated by our existing hosting package at 1and1.com, I want to import that SQL .bak to our new hosting package at ixwebhosting.com.
ixwebhosting.com don't have a import feature in their control panel.
I have to maintain the SQL at ixwebhosting.com using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express since they don't have that feature in their cp. I don't see any import features in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express either.
How can I import it using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express or another free GUI program?

I am trying to export from an SQL Server on a hosting company to my own computer using DTS. I'm new to SQL Server manipulations like this so please go easy on me...
I can't seem to manage to do this properly - If I select "Copy tables & data only" it will not copy the identity constraints and primary keys. If I select "copy all objects" it starts giving me permission issues which I cannot seem to resolve, because I guess the tables on the hosting server are owned by my username up there, but when they come to my computer they are orphant?
Isn't there an easy way to do this? It's a very simple database, tables and that's it, not even any stored procedures.
I told my client to use a particular host, or at least one that offers a database... they instead went with a friend of a friend that offers hosting as a reseller.
Now I'm the web developer for this huge site overhaul which requires a database with a host that doesnt offer it.
I'm new to databases... thats why I'm accustomed to using the simplicity of ipowerweb or mediatemple and their phpmyadmin interface.
Anyway... what do I do? Will a database hosted elsewhere work? If you know about this stuff, please help.. I may not be asking the right questions!
I have experience only designing an implementing DB in sql2000 but not too much administering.
My app is a Web Service that communicate with my DB.
The DB is in a hosting company, so I don€™t have too much permissions to play with.
The application have been the same for at least one year, no changes at all but recently my users complaint that the system was not working/responding.
I immediately thought about excessive load
When I went to query analyze and execute the command (sp_who), I saw that 173 processes where sleeping €“ awaiting command
that is the only thing I can imagine was the problem(not sure yet). I investigated and found the Kill process instruction but I was not able to run it because permission.
Based in this scenario How can I give a fast CPR to drain my DB and allow my user to work? Any link? Any sug?
Does anyone use One and One Internet (UK) for their hosting? I use them and when I published my site all membership feautures wouldn't work, I called the One and One support and they said that their servers only support SQL Databases if they were created using their own tool in their control panels. How would I get my site to use their database, I'm really not sure. If anyone else could help me out I'd be grateful. Kind Regards Mattie
I will like to know the files i will load to a remote server if i want to host an sql database. let's use the northwind database for example, if i want to host it on hosting server what are the files i will host i mean i need a detailed procedure on how to go about it.
Hi all! One good thing about access databases is the ability to upload the .mdb file to a hosting server and not being charged for database space. How about MSDE? Does it require SQLServer hosting or can it be done just by uploading the database file? Thanks,Ricardo
Maybe someone can suggest me some software which can be used for SQL 2005 shared hosting? With database size limit, user number restriction and other features.
Does anyone know where I can get SQL Server 2005 witness hosting? Our primary server is in Vermont and our DR site is in New Hampshire. I would like to set up a witness server somewhere off the east coast. I don't want to have to purchase a new server and pay big prices for colo.
Is there such a thing as witness hosting? Would someone be willing to host my witness and I can host yours?
I have a hosting package with network solutions. They tell me that i can only have one sql database... In my app_data folder on my computer web site i crerated, I have three of the main folders... does that mean that i have to merge all of those into one...
Another question, Since having many tables, functions etc how could i copy and paste if i have to merge those, because my express editon, i have no idea how to do it... and in visual web developer I'm not able to copy and paste between data folders??
I have been attempting to locate a hosting company that offers SQL Server 2005 in addition to Analysis & Reporting Services but have been unable to find a hosting company which does so without purchasing the entire server. Anyone know of a company?
I see < SQL SERVER 2005 EXPRESS EDITION LICENSE> it has "hosting services" (at 4.Scope of License ),(Now, English has been removed, but the Chinese Simplified were) it refers to what ?
it is means
1. Services Host -> supply app run environment, like IIS or 2.Server -> Waiting for the link (Server)
I have a server that i would like to use as a dedicated DB Server. It is running Win Server 2k3 and SQL Server 2005. The typical upstream bandwidth is anywhere from 384Kb/s to 700Kb/s. Is this enough to host multiple SQL Server 2005 DB's? The DB's will be used for database driven websites. Please let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks,
