Application update management

I created an application with Visual Studio Community 2019 in VB.net, now I would like to insert, within the software, a link to check for any updates, but to do this I need to have a remote connection to a server or something similar , where I load the executable and/or installation files. Can I use my computer as a remote server? Or is there something similar on the internet?

Thank you

George

    Hi @Giorgio Scintu , 

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    Maybe you can use the ClickOnce, which allows you to publish your application to a remote server and check for updates. 

    For more information, see How to: Manage updates for a ClickOnce application.

    Sincerely,

    Anna
