As discovered, putting the service into the host's web tree is the right starting point. After the files are uploaded, convert that folder into an IIS application so it runs in its own application boundary, and assign an application pool configured for the same .NET runtime used to build the service. Place compiled assemblies in a bin folder alongside the .asmx or .svc file and the web.config, and grant the app pool identity the necessary file permissions (read, and write only if the service needs to write files).

For WCF hosts, enable service metadata (for example, serviceMetadata/httpGetEnabled) so WSDL is reachable and verify endpoints/bindings match client expectations. On shared hosting, direct control of app pools may not be available; hosting control panels typically expose an option to mark a folder as an application and to select the .NET version, or the host can apply the settings.

Common troubleshooting steps: a 404 usually means a missing handler or wrong path; a 500 often requires checking Event Viewer or enabling detailed errors (temporarily) and inspecting web.config; permission errors point to app pool identity access. If IIS does not route ASP.NET requests, register ASP.NET for the installed .NET Framework with aspnet_regiis.exe (Full .NET). Microsoft guidance on hosting WCF in IIS and the aspnet_regiis.exe tool is available from Microsoft Docs: and .

I got the solution. We need to create a virtual directory and upload the services to that directory.
