Can someone recommend a SQL host? Here are my requirements:
SQL Server 2005 or 2008 - any edition
1GB database size
Full-Text indexing (SQL Azure doesn't support this)
Web hosting is optional as I already have a web host
I'm really looking for shared hosting as I'm trying not to spend a lot of money.
Does anybody have any experience with a sql host that will meet the above requirements?

Well, your requirements are well within the limitations of SQL Server Express edition, (the R2 version supports up to 10GB) so is it an option to install this on the current web server as it's free?
If you were to host it elsewhere, how would you manage database connections from your web host to your database host? It's possible, but there are a lot of security considerations, you presumably would pay for bandwidth from your web host and you'd have extra latency.

Good points. I guess I'm looking for a webhost with sql server, or a evirtual host that I can install sql express on.
