Hosting a small dot net app and SQL Server Express db
-
Hi All, As per the title of this post... I have developed a small Dot Net WinForms C# application which uses a SQL Server Express 2008 as the database to link to which I would like to sell. What I'd like to do is use some remote hosting service so I can put up the app and DB and give customers a trial of it before they commit to paying for it at which point I can roll it out to their own network or leave them with the hosted service if they don't have their own network. As I've never deployed an app to a cloud based host, can some kind person give me some recommended cloud hosts who won't charge too much monthly and where I can load my Winforms App (dot Net 4.5) and I can install SQLServer Express 2008? Basically the host will need to support dot net framework 4.5 (or I have the option to put it on myself ) and SQL Server Express 2008 (or I have the option to put it on myself). The end-user would ideally access the app via a VM. I've had a look at RackSpace but I'm unsure of which of their options I would need... Many, many thanks. :)
