Newbie questions

Hi,

I am planning to move my asp.net 3.5 website (with SQL 2005 Developer version codes and tables) to DiscountAsp.net. Hopefully someone can answer a few questions before I pull the trigger. Thanks in advance.

1- Is it relatively easy to move the website to 'live'?
2- Will it look and act exactly like what it is now in the VS 2008 IDE?
3- Is it easy to replace the site with a new one?
4- Where is the SQL Server data reside?
5- Is it easy to upload, download, update, delete the SQL data remotely?

Some other newbies like I might have the same questions as well. Hopefully I am not the only one benefit from this.

Thank you.

Eric

1- Review this knowledge base article: http://support.discountasp.net/KB/a72/how-do-i-deploy-visual-studio-20082005-visual-web-developer.aspx

2- You can test it out by signing up and using the alternative ftp and alternative url that we assign all hosting accounts.

3- Yes, you can switch out your site without issue.

4- SQL is an addon to the base plan. We host SQL databases on separate SQL servers. Once you add the SQL addon, you will have information on the location of the sql database.

5- We provide many tools for sql. We have an Attach MDF file tool to upload your sql database. We have SQL backup/restore tools for sql management.
