Web Hosting Sites

Note that if you use ASP.Net Core then your website can use a Linux host.

ASP.Net Core Blazor Webassembly can be used to generate what is called a static website. There are various hosts that will host static websites for free.

Cloudflare Pages is one host that will host static websites for free. My simplesamples.info website is currently doing that. You can push your code to GitHub and have it automatically deployed to Cloudflare. GitHub Pages is another way to host websites for free but due to a bug (it might be fixed now) in GitHub Pages, ASP.Net Core Blazor Webassembly applications in GitHub Pages do not support navigation perfectly.

If you store your project in a repository (such as GitHub) then it should be easy to switch to a different host when you need to or want to.

I have one website in Netlify.com for free. You can also use Netlify to automatically deploy your application's repository to it.

Azure is certainly a reasonable possibility. The main reason I do not use it is that the billing is confusing and I had problems figuring out what Azure product corresponded to what I was paying.

The following are more possibilities from my bookmarks.

• winhost.com
• asphostportal.com
• mywindowshosting.com

It is unlikely you want to use what I am currently using that I intend to eventually use exclusively. I have a Linux VM with Nginx that I have installed and configured myself that I use for hosting.

I recommend avoiding GoDaddy. They support non-developers better. GoDaddy did not support developers very well when I was using them. Many developers recommend avoiding GoDaddy.

Choosing the right hosting platform for an ASP.NET C# application is crucial for its performance and reliability. While there are several hosting providers, it's important to select one that offers robust support for ASP.NET and C# environments.

For ASP.NET C# hosting, platforms like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are often recommended due to their native support for Microsoft technologies. These platforms offer scalability, reliability, and a range of services that can enhance your website's performance. Additionally, hosting providers such as GoDaddy and HostGator also offer specialized ASP.NET hosting plans that might suit your needs.

While Cloudways is renowned for its ease of use and excellent support, it's important to note that Cloudways primarily focuses on PHP-based applications and might not be the optimal choice for ASP.NET C# hosting.
