Cheap .NET hosting
-
I might do a WebSite for my home pet project soon... I am going to use ASP .NET Core for the dynamic part and will need a database and some disk storage (for user's upload and custom web page content) Any hosting suggestion? I am wondering about Azure, might be good as a learning experience, but might be overpriced for my hobby needs... Though I did find it can do quite a lot [for free](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/free/search/?&OCID=AID719799\_SEM\_DEeD0Vie&lnkd=Google\_Azure\_Brand&dclid=CjgKEAiAuMTfBRD7yYi78uvrmHgSJACUJBSUuYJUC9ck-yODKij5BpThDlxf0xoZMVfskfaZVDL8L\_D\_BwE)! [Discount ASP](https://discountasp.net/asp.net-hosting/plan/) seems good .. Any other suggestion and / or recommendations?

I use DiscountASP.Net and they have given me no problems for the last six or seven years. They always have the latest everything available and it all just works. Not too expensive either, but I don't have any database, just a web-site and an automated process that runs daily to update an online game (data stored in flat files).
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

In my opinion, Azure, AWS, etc., are all a scam for the hobbyist - minimal storage space, microbrain virtual processor and memory, etc. Granted, they provide great services for corporations, but as a hobbyist, no way, no how, am I going to suffer the inequities of someone else's concept of "free" and what I get for "free", until they change their minds. So in my opinionated opinion, host the site yourself. Buy a cheap domain name for $5 /yr, get a free SSL cert from LetsEncrypt, and set up your router to accept ports 80 & 443. Read [my article](https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1194823/Self-Hosting-Multiple-HTTPS-Websites-in-IIS-with-S) on how to set up IIS and obtain your SSL cert, and start serving! Take control of your web server! :-D

Why not rent some rack space? Unless you have an ISP that gives you bearable upload bandwidth?

In my opinion, you can’t go wrong with Azure. Everyone has different levels of “hobbyist”. A better idea would be to setup a budget and see who (and what products) fit inside it. I hosted ~many~ sites in Azure for free. I wanted custom domains, Let’s Encrypt support, and a few others features… so I setup a VM which costs me around $50 a month. I now run a dozen (or so) sites on that VM, setup a Kubernetes cluster, got gigs in block storage, and other stuff… for around $200. Personally, I feel free is usually a lie and never worth the actual cost. Besides, companies pay for Azure, AWS, and Google cloud experience. Not so much the smaller providers. Spending a little bit of $ might help to you land a high paying job.

https://www.winhost.com ASP.NET Hosting | Windows Hosting at Winhost I am with them for about 7 years and their support is great. You may chose a plan that fits you best. I have two hosting plans with them: - "basic" for personal stuff I may experiment once on a while - "max" to host a website for an organization.

I would not recommend asphostportal. Support is spotty - some good, some bad. Responses are typically overnight (not within hours). Their email service is spotty. They don't really support Cloudflare DNS - if you use it then the email service doesn't work - if you drop Cloudflare to make it work then it is spotty. I am considering a switch to a2hosting. Anyone have experience with this one?
