With hosting I was mainly talking from a new person's perspective, I don't know how you feel about this, but for me setting up .Net hosting can be harder.
I've struggled with this a lot before, where your basic linux hosting is just easier and you can find more topics on this. (I realize this might be opinionated)

The SEO, not saying these things are not fixable, but out of the box it could be better:

To host .NET apps , we can easily do right click publish to Azure, or hook up a CI/CD pipeline like Azure Devops and Github Actions.

I don't know why you had bad experience with hosting. Can you elaborate more ? How did you host your .NET apps ? And how easy it is with Linux ?

That SEO article is from 2011 and like 5 major framework version updates behind, the last 3 of which run on Windows, Mac, and Linux. VS.net has right click publish to Azure web hosting plans that run on either Linux or Windows. Microsoft has reams of documentation, videos, and open source solutions how to get started with web dev on .net.
You’re probably due for a refresher on what .net is these days, because it’s not what you describe.

Hey JFK, sorry to offend you, I mean it made the list, There must just be some pro's and cons and I highly recommend anyone interested to check it out.

I also mention Microsoft has massive documentation on it.

Again sorry if this post offended you, I still think it's a good framework and people should consider it.

The SEO article you refer is talking about ASP.NET Web Forms, which is outdated framework. Its not good idea to blog out wrong information by mistake, this gives wrong impression to beginners while making decisions. :)

What cool thing you can do with .NET ?

I didn't write this to promote the framework, I just shared some good information on .NET, Tools may change every year, So At the end use the best tool for the Job. :)

Oke cool thanks for this additional info, I know .net is pretty cool, I mean I used it about 5 years ago the last time, so don't pin me down on the details these days.
Hosting back then was a pain, because Azure wasn't a thing, and setting up Windows hosting could take forever...

It's def a good framework for people getting into development, hence it's on the list 🀟

This might be a personal answer, but compared to windows hosting back in the days Linux was always way more interfaced using systems like for instance DirectAdmin.

But even underwater setting up Linux hosting is not difficult.
As for WebServer this Linux article is great: linuxandubuntu.com/home/how-to-set...
