Make the Best Decision with our ASP.NET Core Hosting FAQ Guide

Our ASP.NET Core Hosting service is implemented on the Microsoft Azure Cloud, running natively on the Windows Server 2019 operating system with IIS 10. With Azure's global infrastructure, we guarantee an ASP.NET Core hosting service with over 99.9% uptime, high-speed disks, and maximum stability for your .NET projects.

At the server level, IIS 10 (managed via Plesk Obsidian) uses Microsoft's official AspNetCoreModuleV2. This module automatically handles incoming web traffic and routes it with ultra-low latency to your ASP.NET Core application, ensuring maximum performance and stability.

This advanced configuration ensures that every website has a fully isolated Application Pool in IIS. This optimizes server resources and protects the dotnet.exe process from crashes, offering a high-performance shared environment.

We natively support the most recent stable versions, such as .NET 10 (LTS), 9, and 8, as well as earlier versions like .NET 7, 6, 5, and .NET Core 3.1, depending on your application requirements. You can easily switch your project's version directly from your control panel.

We use Plesk Obsidian, the most up-to-date, fast, and secure version of the market-leading panel. From its intuitive interface, you can manage your domains, MSSQL databases, files, email accounts, and .NET settings without any technical complications.

Yes, all our plans include a free lifetime SSL certificate via the official Let's Encrypt extension integrated into Plesk. It installs in seconds with a single click from your control panel and renews automatically with no hidden costs.

Our ASP.NET Core hosting service is fully compatible with Web Deploy. You can download the publishing profile file directly from your Plesk Obsidian panel, import it into Visual Studio, and publish your Web API or MVC with a single click.

Yes! Thanks to the advanced tools in Plesk Obsidian, you have native support for Git. You can connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository directly to your account. Every time you run a git push to your main branch, your ASP.NET Core application will update automatically on the server.

Yes, absolutely. Even though it is a Windows Shared Hosting environment in the cloud, each website runs in its own fully isolated Application Pool in Integrated mode on the IIS server. If another user's application crashes or gets overloaded, your application will keep running safely, securely, and without interruptions.

You have full access through the Plesk Obsidian File Manager to edit the appsettings.json file directly. You can also automate its update when publishing changes via deployment with Git or Web Deploy from Visual Studio.

Yes. From the control panel, you can inject custom Environment Variables for your .NET production environment. This allows you to securely manage critical connection strings and API keys, keeping them protected and completely out of the source code.

By default, on entry-level plans, the IIS server suspends processes after long periods of traffic inactivity. However, on our Premium Plan, we can exclusively enable the AlwaysRunning setting in IIS. This guarantees that your background tasks run uninterrupted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without relying on incoming traffic.

Yes, our hosting features native support for WebSockets on IIS 10, allowing full compatibility with libraries like ASP.NET Core SignalR. To ensure shared server stability, each plan comes with a set limit for concurrent simultaneous connections and isolated memory resources within its Application Pool.

Our ASP.NET Core Hosting service includes native support for Microsoft SQL Server 2022. To ensure maximum flexibility during your migrations, the database engine is fully backward compatible with SQL Server 2019, 2017, 2016, 2014, and 2012 by configuring the Compatibility Level on the server.

Yes. Our hosting plans natively support MariaDB. Since it shares the same technological roots as MySQL, we guarantee 100% compatibility for your databases, ensuring the same stability and performance.

Yes. You can create your Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) databases from Plesk Obsidian and connect to them externally using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) from your own computer to manage them with total freedom.

Yes, absolutely. Our infrastructure on Windows Server within the Azure Cloud is specifically designed to maximize the performance of Entity Framework Core (EF Core 10, 9, and 8). Being a native environment for the .NET ecosystem, communication with SQL Server occurs with the lowest latency on the market.

Yes, absolutely. Our ASP.NET Core hosting service is optimized to let Dapper shine as a micro-ORM, taking full advantage of its object mapping speed and pure SQL execution with no heavy abstraction layers that penalize performance.

Yes, natively. Although modern .NET development prioritizes the use of EF Core or Dapper, our infrastructure provides complete and unrestricted support for critical ADO.NET components such as SqlConnection and SqlCommand. This ensures total low-level data access control, allowing you to run stored procedures and bulk manual transactions with the lowest server latency.

Data security is fully automated through Plesk Obsidian. From the control panel, you can schedule and restore automatic backups of all your files and MSSQL databases periodically, ensuring service continuity against any eventuality without complex configurations.
