You should discuss this problem with your hosting company. Chances are, you cannot do it. The features you can use under the shared hosting plans are very limited. If you can use (expensive) VPN hosting, it's the different story...

But in Local IIS only the Problem came so where should i change the Setting of IIS to run the Windows Service

Yes, but in shared hosting your options are limited by the package you are using. Are you using the shared service? Can you discuss it with customer control of your hosting provider?

Till now i have not hosted in any Hosting panel to test the application i hosted the application in my local computer (iis) there its getting error login as administrator to run the sms service.

Than I don't understand what is "hosted environment"... Well, run as administrator then... Is it Windows 7 or what?

It does not mean running as administrator, did you know that? Not in Windows 7.

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open VMC_SMS_SERVICE service on computer '.'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.GetServiceHandle(Int32 desiredAccess) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start(String[] args) at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Start() at Sms_Service_Sms_SmsServiceStartStop.StartWindowsService()

This is the Error iam getting when i host the Service in IIS

It looks like the problem is: you don't know how to run something with elevated privileges in Windows 7. Please read this:

You should also understand UAC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control[^].
