I’ve been learning C# with .NET Core and would like to start hosting my projects online, everything I’ve done is locally so far.
I don’t THINK I need a Windows Server host, they seem to be expensive, I think .NET runs ok on a Linux server? But when searching for a .NET hosting provider I see windows everywhere.
I’m hoping to find as low a cost option as possible. It will be mostly for hosting projects to show potential employers / clients etc.
where do you generally host your .NET projects? I’ve seen AWS / Azure / Linode recommended, but I think costs can spiral quickly?
A cheap Linux VPS works for services. For example 3€ per month. With fixed cost cost can’t spiral.
If you go for cloud hosting with dynamic pricing you can ensure they have cost limit settings too.
I host stuff on my own VPS. Web services behind an Nginx webserver/reverse-proxy.
