How asp.net application communicates with MS SQL database

Hi,

I'm interested in how asp.net application communicates with MS SQL database. I mean, is communication encrypted or can it be? I have scenario where database and web application will communicate over Internet, they are not in the local network.

Please share your opinions.

Yes, you can encrypt the communications. It's easier in SQL Server 2005 than 2000.

Hosting Companies

My company is interested in using Reporting Services but doesn't yet want to
commit to their own servers. Does anyone know of any hosting companies
offering hosting of SQL Server Reporting Services? So far, I can only find
one - discountasp.net and I'd like some more alternatives.infosaic.com
They are installing it this week. Sales may not be familiar with it as yet
so contact Garry Vershinin in tech support.
I have been hosting with them for three years now and am very happy with
their service and tech support.
