Hi Guys,

I've looked around a few times now but haven't found a host that is willing to offer free ASP.NET hosting. Does anyone know of anyone that does it?

I'm not looking to do much with my .aspx scripts, I just want to have a play about with them but replace my www.crmpicco.co.uk site with it permanently.

Is there anyone out there that offers this?

I won't need a DB or the ability to send emails.

Cheers,
Picco

Thanks for that link. However..........

WOW - i read on their site that people sign up for an account then don't build a website. I've signed up and can probably answer that for them.....NO FTP ACCESS!

That is pretty poor for developers I would say, does anyone know of anyone that offers free hosting, but with FTP access even if it's like 10MB limit. :-)

Wouldn't recommend ASP Spider

i think GoDaddy offers free hosting, just have to deal with an annoying banner across the top...

I think that is pretty frustrating to be honest, my idea was to replace my current holding page for my PHP CRMPicco ( http://www.crmpicco.co.uk/ ) with a ASP.NET site. I find it strange that NO-ONE is really willing to offer FREE ASP.NET hosting (with FTP support), even if it's a really small limit and little bandwidth.

I can only imagine that would push more and more developers into learning PHP, Perl, Java etc....rather than .NET technologies.

ASP.NET cost money to liscense. PHP doesnt... does it?
