Hi,
I have to create a new web service to use in CRM Dynamics Online 2013. Our customer doesn't have a Web Server where publish it.
Anyone can tell me where can I publish my web Service? I have to use Windows Azure to do it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
It is possible to use Windows Azure web service. You should be able to invoke the same from within plug-in when using Dynamics CRM Online. As for online, you cannot use non-sandboxed environments. You will need to use
ChannelFactory interface for the server call. However this works well as I have implemented the same for a client in the past.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
You could either go for Windows Azure or other partner hosted Web Servers for hosting your web service.

Hi,
Like I said, you could go for a Windows Azure subscription and have your web service hosted there. If you are planning to invoke this web service from CRM, you can do that. Or if you're planning to have this web service work as a wrapper service on top of Dynamics CRM, that is possible as well.
You might want to check out the Windows Azure subscription plans. Partner hosted Web Service is also an option other than Windows Azure.

If you are looking at which technology to use - ASP.NET Web API might be a good choice.
