Silverlight (.NET 3.5) - Good free hosting?

Question

I am ramping up a Silverlight application and would like to be able to use a free hosting account to test that it will run properly in a deployed environment.

I was wondering if anyone knows some free hosting services for Silverlight 3.0 applications?

Answer 1

Silverlight is delivered via HTML, so any free hosting provider would work. If you need WCF services, that's one's a bit trickier, but any service that offers "ASP.NET hosting" should work for WCF, too.

Answer 2

I don't know about free, but http://www.winhost.com is the cheapest I've seen at $5/month. Includes 1000MB web and 100MB SQL 2008.

This is not spam... I don't work there :)

Answer 3

You can upload a Silverlight application .xap to MySpace as an application. See the MySpace Silverlight Kit for more details.

CrystalTech also has a $7.95/month ASP.Net account that I use for hosting Silverlight demos.
