You just have to change your connection string. But you should put it in your app.config first so you don't have to recompile every time you need to change it.

See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms184658(v=vs.100).aspx[^]

You connection string just has to point to the new server. See http://www.connectionstrings.com/[^] for examples.

1) Connect your server with Sql server management studio.

2) If database is not created at your server, then first create database there. you can do it with two ways. by creating backup of database from your local machine and restore it to the server.

3)in web.config just replace your connection string with live ip of server or domain name. you have to also provide username and password in web.config.
