FOR LOCAL HOST I USE THIS ONE ITS WORK FINE
<connectionstrings>
<add name="CongString" connectionstring="Data Source=Minhas-PC;Initial Catalog=MBH_DB;Integrated Security=True;Integrated Security=True;" providername="System.Data.SqlClient">

It is highly likely that the web host will have a FAQ that will describe how your connection string should look: it is unlikely that it will be the same as the one that you use locally to develop.

You can also take a look at the link below as it describes a large number of connection string options and other useful information.

The Connection Strings Reference[^].

Hi kashifjaat,

Could you please kindly check your connection string again? Could you please kindly check with your current provider that you have used the correct connection string?
