Hello,
I am a newbie in this area, and hence would seek some assistance in setting up an environment as follows.
I want to sell space for web content and DB space in my servers. so i want to have a couple of web servers running win2k3 and some DB servers running SQL. i have the following questions.
1. is there any best practices or tutorials for me to start doing this?
2. how will a customer develop their application an upload it to the web server (if its a .NET enabled app), is it normal ftp? how will the DB connections be created?
3. how will the customer upload the DB's for the database servers that i maintain?
4. how can i limit the visibility so that the customer sees only their database and not anything else?
5. can the creation of databases and tables be created through a web interface ? if so can someone help me with some reference to sample coding.
2. Using any of the FTP client utilities. Some of the Hosting providers like DiscountASP.net will allow you to publish your app directly from the VS.NET. Better to check with hosting provider.
3. Much depends on what hosting provider will provider? Some of them provider web interfaces .....some allow you to use third party tools to administer database. If nothing is permitted...you will have manually run the scripts.
2. You can set up your environment for FTP or use Front Page extensions etc. Its all in how you set it up. Generally for database connections it is a good idea to have a back-end network that your web server can use to communicate with Database Servers.
3. You can utilize things like .Net Enterprise Manager to access back-end SQL databases via a web console.
4. This is done with permissions on the database itself.
This what u are doing some great risks, you know that you need lots of money for the connection and the licenses so if there are no customers oyu might start losing money...

Hello,
1. For information on how to set up Windows Based Hosting, see the WBH Documentation at :
http://www.microsoft.com/serviceproviders/hosters.mspx
2. You can set up your environment for FTP or use Front Page extensions etc. Its all in how you set it up. Generally for database connections it is a good idea to have a back-end network that your web server can use to communicate with Database Servers.
3. You can utilize things like .Net Enterprise Manager to access back-end SQL databases via a web console.
4. This is done with permissions on the database itself.
5. Do search for '.Net Enterprise Manager'.
