    Do you support NET.TCP?

    We only support WCF running through HTTP (IIS).

    Thanks for your reply Aristotle. I got a reply via sales Mark (email) saying you do support it.

    Which one is the correct answer? IIS 7 does support net.tcp, but do you have it turned on?

    In the context of WCF, we do not support WCF services with TCP transport, only HTTP. It would mean that anyone can open TCP ports for their services to listen on, which we do not allow.

    I'm guessing for TCP support I'd have to go with a dedicated server or vps then. It doesn't seem any windows hosting company supports the feature.

    Might be a silly question but, is there no way to pay extra for 'one' certain port for net.tcp?

    Port blocking is part of the security measures on the network, so there is no way we can just open one port. With thousands of customers and just a handful of shared IP address, we'll run out of combinations easy.
