Shared IIS7 hosting?

Question

I am looking to host a MVC app with IIS7 style routing, and can't find any affordable hosting. CrystalTech uses IIS6 for their shared plans...

Answer 1

I found this problem, but went with HostingUK.co.uk - they use IIS6 but can configure the mapping for you if you just call them, and then follow phil haacked MVC & IIS6 walkthrough by adding the mvc extensions to the global.asax page...

after doing this my mvc site works fine :)

hope that all makes sense :D

Answer 2

Try GoDaddy's Shared Hosting. It supports II7 & .NET 3.5. GoDaddy is usually quick to update their servers to the latest framework, and even if they do not, all that you need to do is deploy the following assemblies:

• System.Web.Routing
• System.Web.Abstraction
• System.Web.Mvc

Answer 3

GoDaddy Shared Hosting does support MVC as long as you select IIS7, .NET3.5 and add the three main MVC dlls, Mvc, Abstractions, and Routing. I've got the sample site running there with no problem.

Answer 4

Lunarpages, Mochahosting can be your option, I've been hosted with Godaddy, but the ticket reply is damn slowly, so I left, some of good IIS7 Web hosting could be found http://servefault.com/Microsoft-IIS-7-Web-Hosting

Answer 6

Hey…I have GoDaddy shared hosting. I was having problems so I called them and they are telling me that the System.Web.Routing namespace is not available with a shared hosting plan and any dll that needs to be registered with IIS is not allowed. What kind of hsoting plan do you have with GoDaddy?

Answer 7

CrystalTech's default .net plans are now Server 2008/ IIS 7.5/ .net 4.0 starting at $7.95 a month for your first site, you will receive discounts for multiple accounts.

With this release you have the ability to use IIS Manager remotely to manage your IIS entry, sites run in single application pools as well as options in the Web Control Center. The new Control Center options allow you to select which version of .NET you would like to run, the choice to run the site in 32 or 64 bit and also restart your application pool with a click of a button.
