Hosting Company that Hosts Silverlight Apps ( For free)

I am not sure whether there is any company that hosts silverlight apps for free, at least for the basic package usage.

Edit: I am aware that one just needs to include the Silverlight control in HTML, but first, not all hosting companies host .Net applications, and even less of them are hosting .Net 3.5, which Silverlights 3.0 is based. The percentage of companies that host this for free if you are in the range of minimum usage, is even less.

Any ideas?

+3 A:

I may be mistaken, but don't you just embed the silverlight control in HTML and the rest is done by the client? In that case, any hosting company that offers free web space may work.

You are correct.

Yes, but certainly not all hosting companies host .Net applications, and even less of them are hosting .Net 3.5, which Silverlights 3.0 is based. The percentage of companies that host this for free if you are in the range of minimum usage, is even less.

You do not need to have any .net on the host -- it's all in the client plug-in and the silverlight applet's .xap file. http://www.stevegilham.com/silverlight/astroclock.fs.html is a Silverlight applet served from a Linux box without even Mono installed.

Yes, it's just like flash, you don't need .net 3.5 to host the silverlight control but you want want .net 3.5 to host the WCF services for data access.
