How to host a c# web service online

Question

Good afternoon,
I'm working on an asp.net application and it has a c# web service attached with it, it works fine on my development machine (i.e I can view and access the web methods on the service) but I don't know how to go about deploying it to my web hosting space in order for it to work.

I've tried using IIS manager on my system but it can't connect with the server. I also tried copying some of the files(i.e the .asmx, web.config and .asmx.cs files) from the application to the server using file manager, but it throws error messages when i try accessing the .asmx file from a web browser. I'd really appreciate any advice from you that would make the application to work. Thank you.

Please improve your question with who you are using as a hosting provider and what type of package you have. Not all hosting is created equal and some don't allow it, or you may have the wrong type of hosting (linux based).

you can host your webservice on IIS.
make sure that you have permission to access the files from IIS and that you are using the correct Application Pool.
also ensure that your IIS is setup correctly
