Sharing one MS SQL 2005 Database amongst different hosting accounts

I don't know how DASP feels about sharing SQL Server accounts with outside hosts but they do indeed allow us to share our SQL Server DBs with our own separate DASP accounts.

I am hosting www.budgetwebdesign.com.au with discountASP.net and I have an MS SQL 2005Database in the same account. If I buy a second hosting package (preferably with a different account and login) with a different url, can I use the same MS SQL Database that I?m using now?.
That is my first question

Can I also share my database with another hosting provider.., I have had problems with my aspx sites not working on my godaddy hosting, a web.config error comes up that saysthere are issue connecting to the sql database, but I am unsure if it something else, I am currently looking to make sure I am setting up the application on the folders correctly.

Sharing between account will work fine.

Sharing between different hosts is not recommended. You'll encounter a lot of problems with this. I'm pretty sure you won't be able to do this with godaddy.com. I believe they block outbound connections to any external databases. They also block all inbound connections to their databases, which is extremely retarded. You can only connect to their DB from their web servers.

Thanks! I know that sucks.

I should have posted this question in the "database" forum section, I was tiered and blurry eyed, oops.
