I've recently landed a job doing .NET development. We have our own servers there so whenever I'm working in Visual Studio, all I do is add a connection to a database and start developing. I'm trying to develop a personal site and I just found out my web host doesn't permit remote connections to databases, only on dedicated host plans. Can anyone recommend a hosting company that allows this on shared windows plans?

Or enlighten me. How should I be approaching development under these circumstances? How should my workflow be?

I personally have used GoDaddy's shared Windows hosting. They do allow a remote connection to SQL, though you have to specifically indicate that you want the ability when setting up a database. I've heard negative reviews about GoDaddy's service, but for my low-use personal site it's been just fine.
