Try discountasp.net and jodohost.com, they should both have free trials.
Thanks Mendhak , ur posts are always informative.
One more question can you please recommend me any web hosters that can fulfill my following needs (Even Paid links will do)
1. ASP.NET 2.0
2. SQL SERVER
3. LIVE WEB CAM (Something like video streaming)
*Live Web Cam
By this Live webcam i mean to say is to show the cam attached to my pc over the internet.
Waiting for your kind reply
Well you live web cam issue is not really to do with the web hosting. You need to build some sort of application (probally via asp.net) that can show your video. I done something similar once it wasn't professional or anything but I had an application that took a picture from my webcam every second and then a webpage showed the image and refreshed the image every second so I had a sort of live webcam at 1fps which is quite bad but it worked.
Either that or you need to buy an application that can do it and if you want it at a web host then your prob going to need a dedicated server and they are not cheap. The cheapest I have found around is about £50 per month although if you wish contact me via PM and I have my own server hosted on a 24MB connection so I might be able to help you out.
max carpenter is right about the web cam streaming. It would definitely be a control of some sort and hosts don't provide such things. They will only offer the most basic packages, such as web space, a few stats and if you're lucky, a few blogging packages.
Therefore, you only need ASP.NET and SQL Server. Unfortunately for you, there are a lot of hosts out there that do this, aside from the two mentioned above. So what you want to do is to search for top asp.net web hosts. You'll find a lot of results and reviews, but look for the name that stands out the most. I am using netfirms.com for my website but I can't recommend it yet as I've only been using it for under a month.
Thank you both :)
Infact i have developed this webcam capture on my desktop machines using the VB.net , but cant get any idea on how to do this in ASP.net so thinking of where to start this , what kind of control should i use??
Is there any built in control for showing the cam video on the browser???
There are probably several ways to do this. The first one that comes to mind is that if you do indeed have capture mechanism, then no doubt it produces a series of images every X seconds. Have your software save the JPG to a folder on your web host every X seconds and get the page on your web host to refresh itself or just that image every few seconds as well. Both your javascript or page script and your VB.NET software should know the naming convention that will be used so that it can determine the next image to read/write.
A problem with this method is that you will have a pretty much open connection with your web server, that takes up bandwidth. You will of course need to experiment with this first.
So u mean that i have to find simple a web hosting that can offer me ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server , The cam part of my project can be done if i have these two things right mendhak???
Well i have searched a bit in this regard and i have seen some websites that are showing Live web cams (i mean the live videos) , how they are doing this?? Because if i go as u said by taking a picture every second then the video will stop for a second right??
Waiting for ur informative reply :)

You must keep in mind that the web host may be working on a licensing scheme with SQL Server, as using SQL Server isn't entirely free. The web hosts may have to pay for each set of users that are using a SQL Server database, for example, which is why you usually have to pay for SQL Server hosting.Quote:

My aim is to use my webcam live on my web form , if i have to buy something for that i can, dont know if those flash applets ccan work for me or not , but i ll research a bit more on it.
Any Other suggestions for this Naughty boy , Mendhak???
