Earlier today i asked a question which was very quickly answered by Jan (thankyou)
My situation is this. I generally use TSOHost to host the websites i build and i have built my first website using Umbraco and was hoping to use them.
After contacting them they have said that they dont support Umbracos self contained Database and i would have to use their more expensive package and use MSSQL.
I dont particularly want to do this. Does anyone know of any decent hosts who offer full trust and cater for Umbracos self contained database?
Unfortunately i only have a .Net2 website and if i change the version it buggers up that website so i cant adequately test it.
I assume to install Umbraco i just upload the site directory which has Umbraco in it (and working locally) to a directory on the host right?
If thats the case then i tried that and under .Net2 it says i need ot turn custom errors on, on the web.config (to which there are now two because there was already one on the site already there) and if i set it to .Net4 it breaks the whole site.
Anyonehere use TSOHost? I would love it if it did work and if it was as simple as just uploading the files.
I use MochaHost.com and Umbraco works fine there. I only hear good things about http://www.cytanium.com/ too. Plus they make install easy with webmatrix.
Judging by this page http://www.tsohost.co.uk/windows_webhosting.php It seems it should run Umbraco just fine. But if you have the shared account and they don't let you change your iis settings then I see the issue. Can you have support keep your current at at .net 2 and make a new website with .net4 for you?
I Dont think that will be too much of a problem because i will be buying a single cheap package from them for this particular website, and as i already know their control panel i know i can change that to .net4 without a problem/
However, they do mention that they dont think that SQLCE will work. I assume you mean, by uploading the dll, that i just upload the directory which has my website and Umbraco in it? Im guessing the dll in question is somewhere in there?
If it doesnt work, i need to convert the whole thing to MySQL. I know i have already asked a lot, but do you know any guides or tips on doing that?
Finding a Host

Hi Daruine
Do you have an account where you could try to install Umbraco using the CESQL database?
I have done this with succes on my host who also claimed that they did not support it. So if you have an opportunity to test it I think you should.
Don't know about hosts outside of Denmark unfortunately.

If there is no one wyho knows of a host which works with CESQL does anyone know if its easy to transfer the database from CESQL to MySQL?
SQLCE 4 doesn't require any install anymore, so it should work anywhere. (edit: anywhere with .net 4 that is.) Just need to upload the dll. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/06/30/new-embedded-database-support-with-asp-net.aspx
I use MochaHost.com and Umbraco works fine there. I only hear good things about http://www.cytanium.com/ too. Plus they make install easy with webmatrix.
TSO are saying it shouldnt work because they run a clustered host. Is that possible?
If i can go with them i would rather do so.
So i either need to see if i can find a way to get SQLCE working or i need to convert it to MySQL which im currently trying to look into.
Thanks for your reply Nick.
