Whether an App_Data directory is needed, or not, may be related to your ISP's rules.
An ISP can ban databases from residing anywhere other than App_Data.
The only thing to have in mind, if your data resides somewhere else than in App_Data,
is that, unless it's a SQL Server or similar DBMS, your data might be at risk if the
data resides within a virtually accesible online directory.

It is because my host is telling me that the problem with my db is related to
the fact that I have not uploaded a App_Data folder. I kinda felt that this
was not so because my program works fine on my development machine with
App_Data folder.

Is it always necessary to upload to the host, the App_Data folder if my db
does not reside in that folder?
