I very recently released my ASP.NET MVC based website. I'm beginning planning for when I need to upgrade hosting. I'd like to move to a cloud computing provider and I saw that GoDaddy has a grid hosting solution in beta.

Anyone tried to deploy an ASP.NET MVC web app to the GoDaddy grid hosting? If so, how was the experience? According to their help docs, it seems a lot easier to use than other cloud hosting providers.

Thanks in advance!

I've seen a lot of bad reviews about Godaddy grid hosting so I personally haven't tried it.

If you're interested in grid hosting, you should consider the Microsoft Azure platform.

People have been using ASP.NET MVC on Azure: http://www.aaronlerch.com/blog/2008/11/01/run-aspnet-mvc-on-windows-azure/

I thought about Windows Azure... but it looked like the MVC app had to be retooled to work with it. Have you tried to use Windows Azure by chance? I wonder how difficult it would be to get an existing app reworked to be hosted from Windows Azure.

I haven't used Azure yet. It looks really promising though.

My site is running on GoDaddy Grid (Windows/Unlimited) and I'm using MVC. All seems to work well, though I haven't really noticed any increased reliability over the standard shared hosting.
