I'm developing a mobile application with Xamarin. This application is a screen to authorize or not to discount above that authorized by the sellers. So I have a web service that goes in the bank and takes all the relevant information to the client and feeds the application that will be in the hands of those who have the power to authorize.
Should web service be hosted the same way as a website? In that case, probably on an intranet, I'm probably still not sure.
The hosting essentially does. Whether or not it depends on the technology used, but not the functionality.
tags is using the Web API, which seems to me correct. What differentiates this technology from MVC is that it does not generate a traditional view , but rather a data to be processed by the client. The way this goes server does not change anything.
If you have any reason to host differently, it is an application requirement not because it is a web service .
