Publish a web service on Visual Studio 2010

Question

I created a web service in C#, using Visual Studio 2010 ( Framework .NET 3.5). In debug mode it works great, but now I must publish it on the internet, so that I can consume it in remote (the app that will consume the web service is an android app).

So the question is: how do I publish my web service on Internet so that I can consume it in remote?

Thanks in advance; this is a work for taking my degree!

A simple way: you switch to release mode, update your web.config for production, right click on your service project and from the menu select publish. Then you publish it to the local folder. This way it copies only the files needed. Then you copy the contents of the folder to your remote site using ftp, for example, your hosting provider should have given you the credentials.

for some hosters it is also possible to publish directly but I don't use this.
