Hello, I'd like to tranfer a brazillian domain (.com.br) and use the site to host 2 MS SQL Databases. Do you have some kind of "test environment"? I'd like to see how can I connect and use the Sql Server. Thanks in advance, Mario
Mario, I'm afraid we do not have a test enviornment. Our system/platforms are stand alone shared servers and we have the web server, sql server, and email server separated as there own hardware. If you need to have your application connect to our SQL server you will need to use and code a connection string. We support both ODBC and a DSN-less connection string. If you are looking to remotely connect to our SQL 2008 server using SQL Server Management Studio, you can do so by configuring SSMS to call on our SQL Server. You may want to review these KB articles for some details. http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a759/how-to-query-a-sql-server-with-dsnodbc-name-source.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a639/how-to-insert-data-into-an-ms-sql-database-with-net.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a688/how-to-query-sql-database-with-asp-using-dsn-less-connection.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a754/how-do-i-setup-my-connection-string-so-that-communication.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a689/how-to-connect-to-sql-server-2008-using-sql-server.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a499/getting-started-with-your-sql-2008-database.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a771/how-do-i-generate-or-restore-a-backup-of-my-database.aspx http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a622/do-you-support-ms-sql-express-databases.aspx
Ok, this sounds great for me. Your KB is very good, I'm sure that Winhost Max could be a good choice. Thanks for your time.
