ASP.Net 4.0 & MVC 3.0 hosting

kingbal · 21 Feb 2012 at 11:32

I've got a shared windows hosting package with webhostuk - currently pay £24.99/year for .net hosting with up to 10 domains and sql2005 databases.

I'm looking to start developing some sites using MVC 3.0/.Net 4.0 which these guys don't (and won't) support so i need an alternative.

Most of the packages i can find have very limited number of domains/databases in their offer and the prices are quite high in comparison to what I pay now.

Any recommendations?

I use TSO as they have MVC & .Net4 included with all their windows hosting plans. I've got several MVC3 sites hosted with them.

Thanks for the suggestion - their Pro package is the only one that supports MS SQL database and you're only allowed 1!

I currently host around 7 sites, 3 of which have databases so i could do with some headroom.

You can have others added, although it will obviosly cost you more.

TBH, the deal you had for £25 for the year is an absolute steal.

Maybe AppHarbor might be a good option? You can push directly from your repository to live and they support a whole bunch of database systems. It's basically the .Net version of Heroku. Not sure it'd compare with the £25 a year though.

thanks for the replies - WebHostUk have finally upgraded their shared servers to .Net 4.0 so i can now host MVC sites.

If anyone is looking for .Net hosting, i thoroughly recommend them - the plesk panel is easy to use and has tons of features, and the price just blows any other hosting company out of the water!
