First of all, I'm not sure if anyone is in the right place to ask, please transfer me if necessary.
I want to host a WCF-based service so that it is available to everyone. I succeeded in hosting it on my personal, local servers, I would like to take it to an external service provider for various reasons.
I will become blunt: I have no clue about hosting providers. I know that there are webhosters, virtual and root servers and many other services What do I want to know is that in my case Kind of hosting is required. I think a root server will easily fulfill my needs, but it is not really cheap.
The server I want to run on is a self-host (console app) and it needs .NET 4, preferably on a Windows machine. Accessing a folder in the file system greatly appreciates (1 GB storage is far enough). Communication with customers (Traffic in the form of an application written in .NET through a port opening in the server) is less traffic (& lt; & lt; 1 GB / month?) No website is good to update the provider.
My understanding is that the virtual server will be possible solution that starts at around 5 € / month, which is right for me though, I have read that RAM is severely limited for these cheap solutions (~ 400 MB), and I do not believe that windows and a net application are enough to run.
EDIT: Compulsive TCP, but I can change it on http I'm surprised about whether I can actually start the "console server app" I do not use IIS So, I think the general website host does not work?
