Free .NET Hosting

By in Tags: ,

When I wanted to host my ecommerce project, I looked long and hard for a free hosting provider. Unfortunately I only came up with these two:

Quantasoft – http://www.qhs.sk/

This one is based in Czech republic and Slovak republic.

Pros: Supports .NET 1.x, 2.0 and 3.0 framework. Good for running basic ASP.NET applications.

Cons: Very very slow at times. Unstable. Free users are only allowed to run applications in a medium trust environment. Won’t support ASP.NET AJAX framework or any other third party controls/frameworks for that matter (I’m guessing since its a medium trust environment, the DLLs aren’t allowed to execute in the BIN folder).

VWDHosting – http://www.vwdhosting.net/

This service is provided by Microsoft.

Pros: Very stable, fast and reliable. Best one out of the two. Good support. Compatible with almost all kinds of third party controls/frameworks as long as they don’t violate their policy.

Cons: Can be used only for 30 days, after which they delete your account. 10 MB database limit.

Well if you guys come across any other free .NET hosting providers, let me know!
