To get the membership and login working on the live site can be tricky because your local site uses SQL Server Express and most web hosting companies only use SQL Server (not express, but the full version). The full version of SQL server is probably what you want since it’s designed for a production environment but it just means it has to be configured to use the membership stuff and some changes are needed to the web.config file in your application. Each host is different so the procedures will vary to some degree. First of all, you need to find out if your hosting plan offers a SQL Server database (either SQL Server 2000 or 2005; both will work). Without a SQL Server database, you won’t be able to implement the membership/login system (unless you just need a real simple setup where you hardwire one username and password).
Once you have a blank SQL Server database, it needs to be configured to handle the membership. Below is a link to an excellent blog post on how to do this:

There are a lot more details involved but hopefully this points you in the right direction.
Hope this helps
