does the webhost have the right version of .NET to run linq...? also on a webhost account the database is properly not on the same machine as the webserver... so the localhost/127.0.0.1 properly will not work...
have you looked in your documentation for the account, they should tell you there what the IP or whatever you need to make a connection string to the DB... what is the webhost you are using...? and you can run the webservice in your browser... to make sure it is running ok...? i am not actually clear on your question really...
