Can i host asp.net in this platform.

Question

Thursday, April 16, 2020 9:18 PM

Hi guys I recently started asp.net core development and now I'm finished and ready to launch my first website but I'm really confused about which hosting plan to buy. I found this hosting plan under my budget, not sure but I think it is Linux based, can you please tell me if I can host my asp.net core website here or not.

Link to site - https://www.hostinger.in/web-hosting

Also, I'm using ef core latest version and using SQL Server LocalDB.

I was thinking to buy the "premium web hosting" plan can you check this site and tell me whether I will be able to host here not.

hosting on core linux requires a vm or docker support or explicit hosting support. As this host focuses on php/wordpress, it does not appear to support core (or node which has similar hosting requirements) unless you use the VPS hosting.

also SQL Server LocalDB is a windows only product so it will not work with the VPS plan. On linux/osx you use sqlite instead for in process database. You could also use the included mysql service (common on most linux hosts)

note: AWS and Azure have asp.net core hosting options which would be cheaper.

Hi nareshbishtasus,

For asp.net core,you could choose several platform to host,refer to:

/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/?view=aspnetcore-3.1

For your shared link,it needs to be paid.I did not use it before.I suggest that you could ask questions on StackOverflow.

Hi Naresh,

If you are using MSSQL server, then it will better to use Windows platform. You can also run SQL server in Linux, but using Docker. For .net core on Linux, please just contact/ask your hosting provider directly. If they support it on their Linux platform, then you can run it. Personally, I would recommend you to use Windows platform since .net always run stable on Windows platform. You can take a look at Asphostportal in case you need to run it on Windows platform. They fully support .net core on their hosting environment.

Hi,

Asp.net core is cross-platform  but if you want to use SQL SERVER check if the hosting provider enable docker and .Net Core.

you can have a one year trial on https://www.digitalocean.com/ both windows and linux.

Best Regards

Choosing the best web hosting solution for your website will depend on several factors, including the program you will use to build and maintain your website. Hence, for some particular website owners, keeping in mind the ASP.NET web hosting service is an important part of the process in finding the best package for you. Before we can give a good explanation of what ASP.NET web hosting is and who it is for, we need to define what ASP.NET for all queries deltacoupon

Also, I'm using ef core latest version and using SQL Server LocalDB.

LocalDB, a limited version of a MS SQL Server Express database engine,  is for local software development usage only. It is not intendent to run on a Web server. If you deploy a solution to a Web server that is using LocalDB, it is going to blow up, becuase LocalDB is a single user database.

The main issue of using Localdb, just like using SQLLite, is you can not scale out. This may make it unusable in some cloud hosting scenarios. 

the big 3, google, aws and azure all have serverless database (database as a service rather than platform) options that are very cheap, and probably should be used instead.
