Can I create my own TCP server and run it on Discountasp.net on some port (e.g. 4500)

    I want to create a realtime multiplayer game in Silverlight and need a server on the web that will respond as fast as possible that will store and provide the data for 2 players.
    For this reason, I decided to use sockets directly (either UDP or TCP).
    To do this, I need to have a server app started and listening to a specified port (e.g. 4500) as players play the game.

    How can I run a .NET app on my discountasp.net's account that is always-on (or at least during gameplay)? Is this possible/allowed on discountasp.net?

    Due to limitations imposed by our shared hosting environment, it's not possible to listen for connections over alternative port numbers.
