We don't support SQL Express on our shared hosting environment. Try looking at this kb article. http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a622/do-you-support-ms-sql-express-databases.aspx You'll need to run a backup of your local database on your personal computer which in turn will give you a .bak file. Then you wil need to use the Restore/Backup tool in the Winhost control panel Site Manager/MS SQL 2008 Manager to restore the database to our SQL server. http://support.Winhost.com/KB/a771/how-do-i-generate-or-restore-a-backup-of-my-database.aspx Once you have restored the database to our SQL server you will need to update the connection string on your web application to point to our SQL 2008 server.
