Hi guys, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I really 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’d greatly appreciate for any suggestions. Thanks in advance!!
