I am setting up an ASP.Net WebForms sub-domain with WCF hosted on a shared hosting account. WCF is the primary purpose of the site at the moment. I am having trouble establishing a link from my desktop yielding a perpetual
Unable to connect to the remote server
I am trying from both Add Service Reference and from C#. I want C# code at the end on the client.
I keep playing around with port numbers and different types of bindings, but nothing works.

Client Side C# Error:
OuterException:
"There was no endpoint listening at http://mycloud.asdfmydomain.com/MyCloudService that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details."
InnerException:
"The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found."
The Add Service Reference from Visual Studio 2017 said the same thing.
I got similar code working from my Windows Service, so maybe the problem is that I am going cross machine, possibly ports, possibly a firewall on the hosting account, etc.
Some (but not all) references:
- wcf web.config file
- WCF Web.Config Question
- how to programmatically connect a client to a wcf service
- MS: wcf client overview
- etc., etc.
Thoughts?
UPDATE BASED ON ANSWER 1:
(SO should pay me a pain and suffering fee for having to endure this hugely annoying celebration April Fool's theme. I am attempting to focus on programming and stay focused.)
I am making progress, no dice yet.
My no service found error message and duplicated MyCloud.Communication.MyCloud rather than MyCLoud.Communication.CloudService error message was the result of an incomplete refactoring on the part of Visual Studio. Visual Studio did NOT refactor the .SVC markup file.
<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="MyCloud.Communication.CloudService" CodeBehind="CloudService.svc.cs" %>
Specifying in a browser the following URL yields:
http://mycloud.asdfmydomain.com/Communication/CloudService.svc/Address1
Here is a key part of the URL from the Microsoft link:
or you can provide a base address for the ServiceHost of a service and then specify an address for each endpoint associated with this service that is defined relative to this base address. Path: /mathservice.svc/secureEndpoint
I had to remove the commented out <serviceHostingEnvironment because the browser wanted multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true".
The text says that the first part of the URI is the path to the SVC file followed by the endpoint address name specified in the EndPointAddres tag.
Error Via Chrome:
[ServiceActivationException: The service '/Communication/CloudService.svc' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation. The exception message is: The endpoint at 'http://mycloud.asdfmydomain.com/Communication/CloudService.svc/Address1' does not have a Binding with the None MessageVersion. 'System.ServiceModel.Description.WebHttpBehavior' is only intended for use with WebHttpBinding or similar bindings..]
Error Via C#:
{"The requested service, 'http://mycloud.asdfmydomain.com/Communication/CloudService.svc/Address1' could not be activated. See the server's diagnostic trace logs for more information."}
I am making progress.
