I dont know if it is just me, but I find it pretty much impossible to develop a Silveright page without falling at least once for the tempation to wire in a webservice.
Now that I am thinking about publishing my Silveright App, I see that godaddy doesnt seem to support webservices. Am I wrong, or will I have to go to someone else for my needs? (I have been with godaddy for many years.) Are there any suggestions? My
main thing is probably I dont want to share an IP address with any spam sites or blackhats.
discountasp.net supports SL 2.0 and allows for web services. However, because it is a shared-hosted environment, you have to use a ServiceFactory in order to make the web service work once it is published (actually any web server that hosts multiple web
services will eventually need this anyway). This becomes a bit of a pain, because once you add the service factory, you then aren't really able to debug to the local build of the web service (I find that I never do that anymore, once I publish it anyway).
To setup the service factory, you have to make changes. First, create a class that represents the ServiceFactory:
public class myHostFactory : ServiceHostFactory
{
protected override ServiceHost CreateServiceHost(Type serviceType, Uri[] baseAddresses)
{
// Specify the exact URL of your web service
var webServiceAddress = new Uri("http://myfullURIPath/myService.svc");
var webServiceHost = new ServiceHost(serviceType, webServiceAddress);
return webServiceHost;
}
}
Second, you modify the .svc file of the web service to reference the factory class
Still a bug on the MS sites that I can only sometimes "mark as answer."
I sent a note to godaddy here is that note, and here is the reply. Guess I wont be missing much if I find another provider. Guess they got too big or something.
Thank you for contacting online support.

Customer Inquiry
I want to use Silverlight on my website connected to a database. The only way to do this is through a webservice. Does
godaddy.com hosting allow one to publish webservices?
Looks like you got an automated response, right out of their knowledge base. It doesn't even make sense relative to the question you ask, and if they don't know what Silverlight is, well then that is an entirely different problem. I use them for registration,
never for hosting.
Not realizing it was an automated response, I had written and said, "Please read question to the end." Is this also an automated response?
Dear
Daniel,
In order to determine if our shared hosting account will allow you to publish a webservice, we will need further details as to the webservice you wish to publish. Please reply with the system requirements of this applications or a direct link to where they
can be seen online so that we can determine if it is supported on any of our shared hosting plan.
Please let us know if we can assist you in any other way.
Not sure, but it already sounds like way too much of a hassle. You should be able to just upload the web service (with the service factory I mentioned earlier) and that's it.

Automated responses to emails are probably the biggest conjob ever sold to businesses. They think they work because they never hear from you again.
