I have a .NET 6 basic website that I built using Entity Framework as the database for updating pages. I am ready to deploy the site/database to a live server somewhere, but I am looking for the best option.
The website is built using the latest .NET Framework 6.0, with Entity Framework 6.0.3. I know about HostGator, GoDaddy and InterServer.
I have read stuff online that said HostGator doesn't actually support the latest .NET 6.0, and GoDaddy only supports .NET Core 3.2?
HostGator is rougly $5.00 a month, GoDaddy is $6.00, and InterServer is $8.00.
I am leaning towards InterServer, because I have read that InterServer supports the latest .NET 6.0 and Entity Framework.
I am used to deploying to servers using LAMP stack, Linux, Apache, PHP, MySQL... The prices there are lower and it is fairly simple to setup. I figure there has to be something similar for windows and .NET.
For something similar, am I looking for Shared Hosting? Or VPS? I really don't understand what I need. I was hoping for Shared Hosting, export my SQL Server database, create it on the live server, then FTP my files over.
InterServer seems like it supports everything, so I am leaning towards that. I know no matter what, Windows Hosting is going to be a little bit more expensive. I just want something that I know is going to work with the latest .NET technologies.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
