.NET Hosting and Servers with SQL Server, hassle-free
Choose between the convenience of our Cloud Hosting plans with SolidCP, the full control of a Standard Windows VPS, or the guaranteed power of a VPS with Dedicated Cores for SQL Server.
- Managed Cloud Hosting plans with SolidCP or Windows VPS servers
- Options with standard vCPUs or dedicated AMD EPYC cores for SQL Server
- IIS 10, ASP.NET, .NET 8/9/10, SQL Server and a dedicated application pool
Three ways to run your .NET applications
Compare the pros and cons of each model based on your control needs, budget and SQL Server demand.
Windows Cloud Hosting
For websites, landing pages and APIs that need a ready-to-use Windows environment without managing the operating system.
- Zero server management: Windows updates and patches are handled by our team.
- SolidCP panel included: Create sites, SQL Server/MySQL databases and mailboxes in seconds.
- Dedicated application pool: Process isolation in IIS 10 for each application.
- Low cost: No need to license the entire server.
- No RDP access: No Administrator access to the operating system.
- No background services: Worker Services or long-running daemons are not allowed.
- Shared quotas: Storage and memory are subject to plan limits.
Standard Windows VPS
Windows Server 2022 virtual server with full RDP Administrator access for development and moderate production workloads.
- Full RDP access: Remote Desktop with local Administrator permissions.
- Complete control of IIS 10: Custom modules, bindings and your own certificates.
- Runtime freedom: Supports ASP.NET Framework, .NET 8, 9 or 10 and Worker Services.
- Database flexibility: Use SQL Server Express at no cost or license SQL Server Web.
- Shared vCPU: During hypervisor demand peaks, heavy SQL Server queries may compete for CPU cycles.
- OS management: You manage Windows patches and security yourself.
Dedicated Windows VPS
Physical AMD EPYC processors 100% dedicated to production SQL Server, continuous transactions and mission-critical systems.
- 100% dedicated AMD EPYC cores: Guaranteed 24/7 computing power with no hypervisor latency (0% Steal Time).
- Optimal SQL license performance: Every licensed core delivers 100% of the processor's computing capacity.
- Ideal for high concurrency and ERP: Continuous OLTP queries, complex reports and high-traffic stores.
- Isolation and consistency: Sustained read and write speed for database indexes.
- Higher monthly investment: Higher cost due to exclusive physical hardware and per-core licensing.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose a Dedicated VPS for SQL Server?
If your database handles continuous transactions (billing systems, ERP, high-traffic stores or heavy reporting), a VPS with Dedicated AMD EPYC Cores ensures the SQL Server engine gets 100% of the processor's computing capacity without hypervisor interruptions, maximizing your license investment.
Can I use SQL Server Express at no extra cost on a Windows VPS?
Yes. On any Windows VPS you can install SQL Server Express with no database licensing cost. It's ideal for databases up to 10 GB with moderate memory usage.
What's the difference between Windows Cloud Hosting and a Windows VPS?
With Windows Cloud Hosting you manage your sites and databases from the SolidCP panel without worrying about the operating system. With a Windows VPS you get your own server with Administrator access via Remote Desktop (RDP), where you can install background services and custom software and configure IIS with complete freedom.
Which .NET versions do you support?
We support classic ASP.NET Framework (4.x) and modern .NET versions (8, 9 and 10). On a Windows VPS you have full control to install any version or runtime your project requires.
Can I combine .NET and PHP on the same plan?
Yes, on both Cloud Hosting and Windows VPS you can host PHP 8 sites with MySQL 8 alongside your .NET applications.
