Computer Forums - View Single Post - Running Sql Server database through on shared hosting?

Hi guys I have a techy question regarding hosting plans, I gather there is 3 main types:

Shared Hosting
Virtual Servers
Dedicated Server

If i wanted to run Sql Server on a shared hosting plan, like the cheap godaddy.com one for example, could I run SQL Server on its server? Or will I have to specifically connect to a given database?

Like for example in Visual Studio you can connect to your localhost and see the databases on your local server your PC is running, can shared hosting allow that kind of connection? Or will I just have to FTP it to a folder somewhere and connect to it manually?

Thanks!
