Hi All,

I am currently running a dedicated server, running web sites with [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) and MSSQL.

I am wanting to buy some shared MSSQL hosting to use as an external database source but would like to know if the performance of my web sites will be hindered by the use of an external database compared to the database being run on my server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Andy
