ASP.NET Hosting

ASP.NET hosting provides the environment needed to run web apps built with Microsoft ASP.NET and .NET Core. Servers are set up with Windows Server and IIS (Internet Information Services), giving full compatibility with the Microsoft ecosystem.

This type of hosting is essential for: enterprise apps built in C#, corporate portals based on .NET, APIs with ASP.NET Web API, Blazor apps, and projects that use Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) as the database.

Key ASP.NET hosting features include: support for .NET Framework and .NET Core/6/7/8, included MSSQL databases, remote desktop access (on higher-tier plans), support for Visual Studio deployment, and Azure DevOps integration.

When choosing an ASP.NET Provider, check: supported .NET versions, how many MSSQL databases are included, whether it also supports MySQL/MariaDB alongside MSSQL, the available control panel (Plesk with the Windows extension is common), and whether it allows custom IIS configs. Since Windows licenses add extra costs, ASP.NET hosting is usually more expensive than Linux hosting.
