DiscountASP.NET Domain SQL Server 2005 Database Access from Ourside Domain(Eg. www.Godday.com) Error

Hi,

We have developing the Web ApplicationUsing ASP.NET 2.0 with SQL Server 2005. We hosted our Web application in your domain (discountasp.net) with your Domain and SQL Server 2005.

We have purchased another SQL Server database for testing environment. We hosted our database Script to your DiscountASP.NET SQL Server Staging Database.

Since we have Domain in GoDaddy server we have planed to host the testing environment in GoDaddy Server. And Use the DiscountASP.NET SQL Server 2005 Staging Database for our testing environment.

We uploaded the testing web application code in GoDaddy Server and Database Connection String from your SQL Sever domain.

While we run or browse the web application we got the following error.

Server Error in '/' Application.

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)

We have specified the following Connection String in our GoDaddy Domain Web.Config for your reference.

How to resolve this issue?

Give me your valuable feedback as soon as possible.

Thank you,

Best Regards,

Sundar

I've seen several godaddy customers specifying that same problem in the asp.net forums.

 

Godaddy sucks. I tried hosting with them once.


They block all incoming and outbound sql connections. I was able to create my schema using "my little tools", but was unable to transfer my data into the database. I even exported all my data to CSV and emailed it to them. Their techs couldn't figure it out either. I sent about 20 emails back and forth and finally canceled.


How can you sell a database service,without anyone being able tofigure out how to get the data INTO the database. I was completely baffled.
