I’ve developed an application over .Net 4 / MVC 3. And now I want to host, this is my first ever hosting experience so I’m confused and seriously need help.
It’s not so complex application basically serving as a community image sharing website.
Now I’m looking for a hosting service for it, I don’t know much about it but what I’ve learnt I think I need following in it.
- Host provided using IIS 7 (that’s fully supports .NET4/MVC3 so I could ideally use MVC routing functionalities totally, without having the headache of adding extensions in route and support functionalities (File MIME Types, Custom Error Pages etc.)
- As it’s a community website, so it should remain available 24/7 like good server performance and availability, so users don’t get bugged by server not available and alike errors.
- Domain registering/hosting functionality, Security
- SQL Server support, an easy control panel (I think Cpanel?)
- Dedicated IP address for my website (for SSL and better SEO)
- Ideally unlimited bandwidth/space packages (because it image sharing so it can be increasing in both parameters)
- And of rouse as it’s not actually a commercial product so be compact in price.
I know I’ve put up a lot of points up, but I’ve also searched through other threads and other forums and found out these as recommended options, any words over their performance and support:
Here are some you can use. Depending on the price you want to pay.
I have godd experiences with GoDaddy and DiscoutASP (both offers what you need, depending on what you want to pay).
But there are so many hosters. Its not only the features and price that counts, it is also the location of the servers .
