Hosting dotnet apps without running own server
Hi
Wondering how economically you could host a dotnet API with a small database, without having to run your own server.
I'm thinking it'd be great to be able to deploy without worrying about OS updates, reverse proxies, SSL etc.
It looks like pikapods does something similar, but only for a set library of popular apps. Is this something that can be done with traditional shared hosting?
Thanked by 1mandala

Some hosting providers allow, for example hostuno.com (they are some sort of shared hosting provider so you don't need to think about OS update or DB installation) allow .NET Core or .NET (via MONO). Other option will be to use provider that allow to use Docker containers, but you will have another layer, that you will need to remember to update once a while.
Also hostuno.com have free hosting called serv00.com, so this app can be hosted even for free.
Azure.
You can use the free tier of any provider which supports .net or something more general like Docker such as Koyeb, Render, Railway etc.

Wrong textbox.. I am so sorry!
Certainly Azure would be an obvious choice, but I know from using AWS things add up quickly when you want the database too. If your hosting something commercial £10 a month here and there is nothing, but for personal project it adds up.
Hostuno look good
