I want to start a web site but having issues finding a hosting company. I talked to GoDaddy sales and the person I spoke to was not sure but said there should be no issues. I wanted to get other feed back before I sign up with them.
If they do not can anyone recomend a good service. I seen the ASP net discount adds on the silverlight sites but thier package deals seem over priced, but I will do what I got to do.
Thanks

About the GoDaddy, I just did what you also could have done and go to their website and look at their packages.
All Windows packages have this in common:
Language Support
Silverlight runs on the 3.5 framework which basically means they dont support it. Maybe they will at some point, but right now they don't. Microsoft offers some free diskspace and there indeed are a lot of adds on this website as well for discount packages for Silverlight hosting.

For the record I went to their site, even called their sales staff. Thier sales staff said it should work but I wanted to check here first.
Thanks for your help

Silverlight applications does not even require windows or IIS to be deployed. Silverlight is a client side technology with no requirements on the server. The factor that will determine the hosting requirements is the server side technology you use. You can use Silverlight on the client and PHP on the server and it will work with no problem.

DOH
you're right... Still they need some mime settings setup right? Or you can stream the xamls as xml...

You are right, they need the XAML mime type mapped correctly, but as a work around you are right too. XAML file extension can be renamed to XML and it will work without the MIME type mapped.

I use GoDaddy, and had to have them add the the mime-type to work with .xaml. They did it within 2 days.

Ofcourse they do support dotnet framework 3.5 now. So that means silverlight 1 or 2 will work perfectly.

Hi,
yes, GoDaddy hosting can be used to host your Silvelright application.
We already use their ASP.NET Deluxe Hosting and it works just fine.
Nothing is needed.
