SmarterASP.NET Hosting Plans
SmarterASP.NET is a Windows-focused hosting provider specializing in ASP.NET applications, offering three shared hosting tiers starting at $2.95/month with unlimited space and bandwidth across all plans. The service includes modern .NET support (.NET 10, ASP.NET Core 10, Node.js), free SQL Server 2025 databases, free SSL certificates, and a 60-day free trial followed by a 60-day money-back guarantee. Datacenters are available in both US and Europe with OpenStack cloud infrastructure and redundant systems, backed by 24/7 technical support and over 1 million claimed customers. The platform supports a broad ecosystem including classic ASP, PHP 8.x, Python, and 30+ one-click application installers (WordPress, Drupal, nopCommerce, etc.). Technical features include SQL Server Management Studio access, ASP.NET MVC/Razor support, GitHub auto-deploy, and various development tools (Visual Studio, WebMatrix, Dreamweaver compatibility). However, shared hosting plans require quarterly or annual billing—monthly payments are only available on semi-dedicated and VPS tiers. Trial accounts lack SMTP functionality, and domains are not included with hosting (separate $10/year registration).
