I developed my first MVC Asp.Net application. it runs on my server at the following adress

http://localhost:59441/

As far as I know there is no other way around this. Unless you are willing to user relative URL's i.e:

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "./CeduleGlobale/UpdateCheckBox", ...

But that can get messy for various reasons when you refactor code. Alternatively prepend the URL which is globally defined and therefore you then only need to change it in once place before going to production.

i.e.

//Globally defined serverRoot
serverRoot = "http://someaddress/somevirtualdirectory";

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: serverRoot + "/CeduleGlobale/UpdateCheckBox", ...

That way if you don't need it you can just set serverRoot = ''; and all will be back to how it is now.
