AccuWebHosting.com has offered ASP.NET hosting on the venerable Windows hosting platform for the preceding 14 years. .NET is one of the mightiest and rapidly proliferating web application platforms of the current epoch, and is inclusive of the services necessary for users to build & construct world-class web applications, all the while permitting users to minimise the amount of code that must be written. Notably, it is altogether free, permitting programmers to create the dynamic web applications that are so frequently desired and demanded on the internet of today. ASP.NET is widely utilized to realise an incredible breadth of projects: from miniscule websites for personal use, to grand, complex and intensely demanding enterprise-level web applications. It is naturally compatible with three eminently used Microsoft technologies: CLR (Common Language Runtime), VB and C#.

ASP.NET makes use of otherwise standard HTTP commands and policies to facilitate its function built on top of the HTTP protocol, in order to achieve seamless bi-directional communication between the user’s web-browser and the server. There have been a multitude of differing versions released by Microsoft, that are variously compatible with different sets of both Windows Server and IIS. As we strive to provide an exemplary and useful range and breadth to our service, our contemporary Windows 2012 Server hosting offers provide support for the totality of versions. To help augment your knowledge of these many versions, we have compiled a helpful list, elaborated upon below, of each major release.

With that practical history of versions virtually complete, we are brought right up to the current day, with Microsoft’s latest and greatest version of ASP.NET, version 4.6. Never inclined to rest on their laurels, Microsoft has jam-packed this release with exceptionally useful features, designed to make your life easier. To enumerate just a sampling, with this latest version you will have access to perennially useful Strongly Typed data controls, Bundling and Minification for your optimization needs, Model binding, value providers, and so, so much more. Truthfully we could continue for a much greater length of time, but we won’t, since your time is better spent actually using these features to save yourself both time and energy!

These new features, in our humble opinions, make it a no-brainer: if you prefer or need Windows Server for your organization and development, you should move as rapidly as is feasible to one of our Windows 2012 offerings. We accommodate IIS 8 on this same service, providing yet another irresistible reason to perform the upgrade and settle in to an extremely flexible Windows 2012 server.
