The honest free tier
What you get with free ASP.NET hosting
Most “free” hosting is a crippled demo designed to push you into paying. Ours is not.
Our free ASP.NET hosting runs your apps on the same Windows Server and IIS infrastructure as our
Premium plans — a real .NET runtime, a real database and a real Control Panel, with no ads
injected into your pages and no credit card on file.
A real .NET runtime, not a sandbox
Deploy genuine ASP.NET Core and ASP.NET Framework applications —
Web APIs, Blazor, MVC, Razor Pages or WebForms. You get a dedicated application pool with its own
memory, a real MSSQL or MySQL database and one-click deployment
straight from Visual Studio. It is the full platform, just with lower limits.
Free Windows hosting with MSSQL
Looking for free Windows hosting? Every free site runs on Windows Server with IIS,
so ASP.NET Framework and ASP.NET Core apps work without workarounds. A free MSSQL
database is included, and you can use MySQL instead if you prefer.
No ads, no credit card, no catch
We never place banner ads on your site and we never ask for a card to start. Your free site lives on
our free subdomains — *.runasp.net and
*.tryasp.net — with free HTTPS available so you can ship
something real, not a watermarked placeholder.
Built to test before you buy
The free tier is the best way to evaluate a host: verify that your deployment workflow, database
tooling and performance all fit your project before you spend a cent. Because it is the same platform,
nothing needs to be rebuilt when you upgrade — you keep the same account and the same apps.
When to move to Premium
Upgrade when you need your own custom domain, more websites, additional dedicated RAM
and storage, e-mail accounts, automatic daily backups or a choice of EU and USA datacenters. Premium
starts at a couple of dollars a month and comes with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
The Free plan in numbers
One website with 5 GB of storage and 256 MB of dedicated RAM, and one database with 1 GB of storage running SQL Server 2025 or MySQL, hosted in our EU datacenter. Your site gets an instant address on runasp.net or tryasp.net.
What is reserved for Premium
Custom domains, e-mail, automatic daily backups, planned tasks, the USA datacenter and add-ons are Premium features. HTTPS with Let’s Encrypt is included with Premium; on the Free plan you can ask our support for manual activation. The Free plan cannot send e-mails and comes without guarantees, which is why we recommend it for testing rather than for production.
Free ASP.NET Core hosting for real projects
Free ASP.NET hosting from MonsterASP.NET is a genuine home for your .NET projects, side-projects and
experiments — not a trap. Create an account in seconds and deploy today; upgrade only when your
project outgrows the free limits. See Premium plans and pricing.
