ASP.NET is a web application development technology created by Microsoft. Unlike PHP, Python and Perl, it is not a language, but a framework that provides developers with a great deal of flexibility.
Based on ASP (Active Server Pages) and Microsoft's.NET Framework, it is currently used by millions of developers, webmasters and corporations around the world. ASP.NET has a wide range of purposes and can be efficiently used to create everything from a small website to dynamic, robust web applications. Due to its popularity, it has become one of the most highly sought after offerings on the web hosting market.
Being that it is so unique, one must focus on a special set of requirements to obtain a complete solution and make the most of it.
ASP.NET Core 1.0
.NET Core 1.0 was actively developed by the .NET team with different open source developers. The main aim to develop .NET Core was to improve and extend the .NET platform with new attributes for different scenarios. It consists of two major components. The runtime is built from the .NET Framework CLR codebase. It includes the same GC and JIT but is bereft of features like Application Domains. The runtime can be delivered on NuGet, through the Microsoft CoreCLR package.
For a modular and well-factored implementation, it is advisable not to provide the entire .NET platform under a single NuGet package, but a set of fine packages.
.NET Core features the ASP.NET framework and .NET Native, for the compilation process of C# to native machine cod, supported by Windows, Linux and Mac.
Developers are excited about .NET Core for its role in cross-platform direction, while some are not sure about the approach of Windows Communication Foundation and Windows Presentation Foundation from now on. Work is on in Microsoft for embracing the distribution of .NET to Mac and Linux-based systems since NuGet involves only Windows-based package managers.
Microsoft spokespersons clarified that they are in process to improve NuGet than building an alternative package. Even though some of the analysts are concerned about Microsoft's role here, many have praised .NET Core for its strong attributes.
Since .NET had become fragmented, with versions for Windows Phone, Silverlight, and Windows Store coming out, .NET Core will be a modular implementation, with applications in different verticals, and also available as open source.
Salient Features of .NET Core and its advantages
.NET Core includes base class libraries, which includes same code as .NET Framework class libraries. It includes smaller set of libraries as part of the NuGet package. The .NET was built to be modular with Base Class Library (BCL) so that only necessary packages could be implemented and installed. NuGet is the default tool here, to deliver .NET packages.
After the launch of .NET Compact Framework, a progeny of .NET Framework, which helped in development of smaller devices, this framework is one of the best codebases from a regular framework with the application model.
The outcome is a set of platforms that share APIs since they started out with a single and common code base. This approach is bound to be divergent unless explicit (and expensive) measures are taken up for convergence.
When targeting one vertical, fragmentation would not be problematic since it includes APIs. But for multiple systems, the availability of APIs to produce assets that work across sectors is important.
Windows Server 2008
It has been out for some time, however, you will get the best performance when pairing the latest version of this framework with the latest version of the Windows OS, which is Windows Server 2008. Although Windows Server 2003 is still on the market, 2008 is far more secure and reliable. This will guarantee a better overall performance for your web applications and hosting environment.
Technical Experience
You want to do business with a knowledgeable company regardless of the type of service, yet this is especially true with ASP.NET hosting. As we mentioned, this technology is very unique, and even differs significantly from ASP. There are critical changes in the core API, changes in Visual Basics, structural changes, security related changes and much more.
Running a server equipped with it and its associated technologies requires the dedicated maintenance of certified.NET experts. For this reason, you need to ensure that you find a company which specializes in ASP.NET hosting, rather than one that simply offers it as a niche service on the side.
Conclusion
ASP.NET and Windows hosting in general is one of the most powerful solutions you will find on the market. The platform is largely supported by software vendors and compatible with the most essential web technologies. Because it is so different and has so many specific requirements, ASP.NET hosting tends to best suited for developers and users with special needs. Therefore, finding the right solution is all about determining your needs and finding a reliable service provider that can fulfill them.
