  • 0

I’ve created a c# console app that uses the class HttpListener on some random port. The app listens to http post requests and performs some operations on mySQL database according to the details of the request.

At this point I wish to upload this application and the DB to a host server. What would be the best practice for it?

  1. should I convert the .exe to .aspx that processes http requests on
    port 80? (my intuition told me that a console app would run faster
    than an .aspx page, but it might be wrong)
  2. should I convert it to
    windows service? Is it possible? Is there a point to it? If I do,
    can I run it on a web hosting server?

Thanks for the help!

    Best pratice would be a windows services, it is allways running when the server is up. A web project is would only run when you have request to a page in the project, because you have your own webserver this would be a little stange.
