SQL Server hosting

[justinm]

Hi,

I'm currently on your bronze shared windows server package, a couple of questions re: SQL Server:

1. Can I use SQL Server Agent to schedule and automatically run jobs, e.g. run stored procedures etc?

2. What hosting package would I need to upgrade to if I want to be able to backup the database directly to my local drive (not the server as I do at present) & do bulk inserts etc myself? (on my current package your tech support does this ad-hoc when required).

Many thanks,

Justin

Hi Justin,

Both the queries can be made successful if operated from a Windows VPS/Semi-Dedicated server.
It isn't possible to provide the same on Windows Shared Hosting packages..
