    1. sql server is $10/mo per database?

    2. is ssh tunneling or similar required to use sql server management studio or can I just connect normally? I am not storing anything critical like credit cards in any of the tables.

    3. can I reset my dedicated application pool myself using the control panel?

    4. subdomains are $5/mo for as many as I need?

    5. I don't exactly see the need for a subdomain if I have to do the routing myself using a script. My old host set up subdomains as independent sites automatically, correctly routed to the application's subfolder. Would a subdomain be required for an separate asp.net application in a subfolder off the root? I think all you need is a virtual directory and/or an IIS application. This would eliminate the extra $5 fee.

    6. What technology is the routing script? An asp.net application in the root or ?

    7. Is the account's folder empty when I sign up or is it filled with stuff I will probably want to delete?

    8. I think this is answered on your site but please confirm I can backup and restore sql server databases myself using the control panel.

    9. asp.net 3.5 web services fully possible?

    10. What is the process for adding a new, additional sql server databases once the account is set up? How do I enable the extra billing? I am the webmaster, not the guy with the credit card.

    Sorry if these are too technical for this forum.

    1. Yes

    2. By default, you connect normally, but you can force Management Studio to connect with ssl

    3. Yes

    4. Yes

    5. You can convert any subfolder to an ASP.NET application. It is up to you either redirect a subdomain to this folder such as myapp.domain.com --> domain.com/myapp or reference this subfolder explicitly like domain.com/myapp. You have to have unlimited subdomains addon if you are planning to use them with redirection. Otherwise they will not be routed to your hosting account

    6. You can use the sample code from this KB article to redirect subdomains to subfolders using ASP.NET code: http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a369/how-to-redirect-a-subdomain-to-a-subdirectory.aspx

    7. There are few empty special-purpose folder such as _database and bin folders and a default page in the root that you will replace later. Nothing else is included

    8. Yes, you can backup, restore, and attach sql server database yourself from the control panel's tools.

    9. Yes

    10. You can order new database addons through your addon manager in the control panel. The guy with a credit card will pay for it. Specifically, the prorated fees will be charged from the credit card on file for this account.
