Posted by Steve on in Hosting Tips

There are a wide variety of the ASP.NET hosting packages available to help you succeed online. However, with so many choices, it may be difficult for you to decide how to choose the right hosting.

Well, this time we will help you understand more about our ASP.NET hosting services, their important features, and examples of their use. We’ll also cover a number of important considerations when you’re choosing a hosting plan.

Immediately, let’s look at the article and read it to the end so you know how to choose hosting that’s good for you!

Shared Hosting

Shared hosting allows you to host multiple websites on one server and share resources with other users. The concept is like renting a boarding house with friends, where you have your own room but need to share other facilities.

Shared hosting is the most affordable hosting plan, so it is suitable for small to medium scale websites. At HostForFIFE.eu, there are three types of ASP.NET shared hosting that you can choose from:

  • Classic Plan
  • Budget Plan
  • Economy Plan
  • Business Plan

Each plan includes different features, and the price reflects what you’ll get. For example, the Business plan package has definitely higher specifications than Classic or Budget plan.

Want to know more? We will discuss each plan individually below.

Classic Plan

Classic plan is the most suitable plan for those of you who only want to host one website and one email account. This hosting package is the most affordable, starting from €3.49/month.

With Classic plan, you already get unlimited GB of SSD storage, unlimited GB of bandwidth, 2 MSSQL database, 2 MySQL databases and weekly backup. You can also create unlimited email accounts

Despite being the cheapest ASP.NET hosting plan, our dedicated support team always ready to assist you 24/7/365.

However, this plan does not include a free domain. So if you don’t have a domain yet, you have to get it first.

This plan is best suited for:

  • Users who have one personal blog
  • Beginner users in the ASP.NET web development
  • WordPress and other CMS users

Budget Plan

Budget plan also lets you create unlimited ASP.NET websites at once. Yep, this is an economical option for those of you who want to use one package for many websites.

The price starts from €5.5/month only.

However, keep in mind that this plan is still part of shared ASP.NET hosting. You may need a higher plan if you plan to host more than one resource-intensive website.

If it’s only for a few small ASP.NET websites, this package is of course still very capable. Moreover, with this package you will get many upgrades from the Classic plan.

Instead of unlimited disk space and bandwidth, Budget plan includes free SSL certificate, unlimited FTP accounts, unlimited email accounts, and one year free domain.

This plan is best suited for:

  • Users who have more than 5 ASP.NET websites that don’t have high traffic
  • Users who have several medium-scale websites
  • WordPress and other CMS users

Cloud Hosting

Cloud hosting provides dedicated resources from the server network to ensure maximum performance and uptime. With this package, you will not share resources with other users with the risk of down-time.

The special resources you get will be the same between cloud hosting and VPS. However, you don’t need special technical skills to manage cloud hosting.

So you could say that cloud hosting is a combination of VPS in terms of resources, and shared hosting in terms of ease of management.

Switching to another hosting can also be done without problems if the host cannot be reached, so it will avoid down-time.

At HostForLIFE.eu, we offer four ASP.NET Cloud Hosting plans:

  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Platinum
  • Titanium

If you are already using shared hosting, consider upgrading to cloud hosting if your website really needs more resources. On HostForLIFE.eu, you can upgrade anytime directly from your helpdesk.

Note, however, that this plan does not include a domain name, so you must purchase it separately.

Cloud Silver plane allows users to create unlimited subdomains, but of course it will eat your resources on the server, so it is highly recommended for you to create 2-3 subdomains only. You can also host WordPress blog with single click installation via control panel

Despite being the most affordable option, this plan is a managed plan, so you can get 24/7 support from our Customer Success team.

This plan is best suited for:

This package also provides advanced ASP.NET tools for optimizing websites. Apart from that, you can run multiple ASP.NET websites on control panel.

However, even though it is capable of hosting multiple ASP.NET websites, it should be noted that Cloud Gold plan uses a shared cloud hosting architecture. That is, you will still share resources with other users’ websites.
