.NET hosting
Install a .NET Core application in one click on our shared Linux platform, take a managed .NET plan on a platform that already runs it, or take a whole cloud server with root access from a clean operating system or a ready Docker stack and choose the runtime, the reverse proxy and the service manager yourself.
Choose the data centre your site lives in: Helsinki, Finland (European Union), Singapore, Ashburn, eastern United States, and Hillsboro, western United States.
.NET is Microsoft's application platform, and the modern cross-platform version of it runs on Linux as a first-class target rather than as a port. C# applications — web APIs, server-rendered sites with ASP.NET, background services — are compiled and run on the same machine you would use for any other stack.
.NET is the natural choice for teams whose people already write C#, and for applications where a compiled, statically typed language earns its keep: line-of-business systems, financial and logistics software, and APIs under sustained load. It is also the practical route for moving an older Windows-hosted application onto Linux without rewriting it in another language.
Three rungs of one product, not three products. The chooser below says which is which; underneath it are the actual plans, monthly or yearly, with any yearly saving shown on each one.
| Option | Best for | Installation | What you control | From, per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Managed application plan | Getting a real site live today, with the least to set up | Already installed when your account opens | Your site and its content — we run the server, the updates and the backups | $14.99 |
| Linux platform plan | The cheapest entry, and for running more than one kind of thing | One click from your dashboard, whenever you want it | Your sites, your PHP settings and your databases — we run the server | $2.99 |
| Cloud server | Traffic, memory or software the shared platform will not give you | You install it — the machine is built to the stack profile you choose | The whole machine, with root — we run the hardware and the network, and daily backups are there when you want them | $11.99 |
.NET Core is installed and running when your account opens, on our shared platform. We look after the server, the updates and the backups; you look after the site. Every plan here includes the whole feature set below.
$14.99/month
or $149.90 a year
Storage upgrades available on all plans: add 10 GB, 50 GB or 100 GB to any website, whenever it needs more. Extra storage
The same shared platform, without the application pre-installed. You install it in one click from the dashboard, and everything in the feature set below is included on every tier. This is the cheapest way to run it with us, and you can move up to a managed plan or across to a server of your own at any time.
$2.99/month
or $29.90 a year
$7.99/month
or $79.90 a year
$14.99/month
or $149.90 a year
Storage upgrades available on all plans: add 10 GB, 50 GB or 100 GB to any website, whenever it needs more. Extra storage
A managed cloud machine, yours alone, built to the .NET Core optimisation profile and handed over with root access. You choose the stack and install .NET Core yourself. Pick this when you need control the shared platform does not give you.
$11.99/month
or $119.90 a year

Cheap hosting is usually cheap once. The industry sells a low first term paid years in advance and then renews at several times the price you signed up at. We do not do that, and here is the arithmetic beside three hosts that do.
| Host | What you pay up front for the advertised price | What the price does on renewal |
|---|---|---|
| Zinn Digital® | Nothing — pay monthly, or pay for a year up front and save. Every plan shows both prices before you buy. | Nothing. The price you see is the price you renew at |
| SiteGround | 12 months, in advance | Multiplies by 5.3 |
| Hostinger | 48 months, in advance | Multiplies by 3.6 |
| Bluehost | 36 months, in advance | Multiplies by 2.5 |
Read from each host's own pricing page on 2026-09-08. Their prices are theirs and they change; the multiple is the renewal price they publish divided by the price they advertise beside it.
Every plan comes with it. There is no support tier to buy, no per-incident charge and no ticket allowance — and the desk is open 24 hours a day.
Support is part of hosting, not an upsell. It is the same support on the smallest plan as on the largest, and nothing about it is counted or capped per incident.
Whatever hour you are working and whatever time zone you are in, the desk is staffed. You are not writing into an inbox that opens in the morning.
Write your ticket in the language you actually think in — we translate it for our team and answer you in yours, with the original always one click away. We sell in all 58.
Our assistant answers instantly from the knowledge base, but it never closes a ticket for you. A ticket is picked up and answered by somebody who can act on it.
Advertising your site? Every Zinn® hosting plan includes the Zinn® Ads click shield, running on the server with nothing to install: it spots bots and repeat clickers on your ads and keeps them away. Pair it with Zinn® Ads, multi-channel PPC automation that audits your ad accounts every day and runs fully automatic or asks you first.
A managed cloud server can be built in any of these regions. Choose the one closest to the people you serve, or the one your data needs to stay in.
Our servers in Finland and Germany run on renewable electricity — sourced that way, not offset after the fact. For our United States and Singapore locations we have not verified the supply, so we do not claim it.
The pages people usually read after this one — the platform underneath, the rest of the range, and the help you get once you are here.
On a cloud server, yes — it is your machine and you have root over the whole thing. On the Linux platform and on a managed plan you get SSH, Git and cron rather than root, because the server is shared and we keep it patched. If you need to choose the runtime version yourself, the cloud range is the rung to take.
It depends on the rung. On a managed plan, yes — the account is provisioned with the application on a platform that runs it. On a Linux platform plan the .NET Core installer is one click from your dashboard. On a cloud server, no, and we would rather say so: you get a clean machine with root, from a clean operating system or a ready Docker stack, and you install the runtime or SDK your application targets. Choosing a profile records what the machine is for; it does not install software, and a .NET application is built against a specific version where the wrong choice is worse than none.
A managed .NET plan runs on our own server fleet, in the data centre you choose — the cities on offer today are listed on this page. A cloud server can be built in eight data centres: Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Washington DC in North America; London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam in Europe; and Singapore in Asia. You pick the city when you order.
Yes, in every direction. The shared rungs step up as the application grows, and cloud sizes run from one core and 1 GB of memory to forty-eight cores and 128 GB. Moving from a shared plan to a server of your own is a migration we do for you.
That is what the three rungs are for. On the Linux platform and on a managed plan we run the server and the platform — updates, caching, SSL, malware scanning and backups are ours. On a cloud server the machine and the network are ours, daily backups are one switch away, and the runtime and the application are yours, which is what a team deploying a compiled application generally wants.
Yes, on every rung. Every platform plan, every managed plan and every server size is sold monthly or yearly, and each plan shows both prices with any saving worked out for you — so you are never doing the arithmetic yourself. You can start monthly and switch later, and the price you sign up at is the price you renew at.
Step-by-step guides from our knowledge base, written for exactly this.
Bring your own Cloudflare, CDN, DNS, Git, static-hosting, SEO-data and Gcore accounts so your sites run on accounts you own and pay for, managed from one dashboard.
Read the guide →Create a permanent Gcore API token with a Managed DNS role and connect it, so your domains' DNS is served from your own Gcore account.
Read the guide →Create a permanent Gcore API token with a CDN role and connect it, so a site can run on your own Gcore CDN with purge and settings managed from your dashboard.
Read the guide →Every shared plan begins with a free trial and is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, and the price you sign up at is the price you renew at. If you would rather ask somebody first, the people who answer are the people who run the platform.
