I might not related to Web hosting...but i don't know which category should i put.
I programmed a C# software application with MSSQL 2005 for my clients. And i am not familiar with Server, i hope someone can answer my question.
Now i don't want to host the database server anymore (MSSQL 2005) since the traffic and security problems, i would like to rent one for my clients.
My question is : i rent the "Server" that is MSSQL 2000 but it is too slow and expersive. But my friend told me i can try to rent the web-hosting with supported MSSQL 2005 and it is much cheaper and faster.
But i have a little bit confuse because the protocol of application connect to database server is different than the web connect to database server. So i am not sure if it is support or not.
One more question, any body have suggestion any cheaper cost for renting the MSSQL 2005 Server? My clients don't really want spend too much money on server.
P.S. It is not ASP.NET, it is a application software that run in under Window OS with .Net framework 3.0
