Michael Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Hello everyone , newcomer here... I am looking for free ASP.NET host and stumbled upon this host..after some reading on the forum , it seems to me that HelioNet is pretty good for community type of websites , but after seeing a post where it was said that apache's mono module is currently disabled - I have several questions : - Is it enabled now? - If yes - whats are plans about its activity - is it safe to assume that it won't be shut down for too much time? - Will HelioNet give warning if they are going to disable the mono module for long period - so website can be moved anywhere else? - If its disabled - will it be enabled in the future? - Without digging through mono project documentation , can anyone sum up known/especially nasty bugs in mono .NET implementation , that I should be aware of? Also , as far as I know mono is less efficient at processing aspx pages than IIS - if anyone have ASP.NET website on HelioNet - can comment this? (My ASP.NET site is not ready yet to put on a host - so I am checking up my options ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Sorry, but ASP.NET is currently disabled We plan to re-enable it in the coming months, but it might be a while... we recommend you find another host in the meantime. As for Mono bugs, take a look at "Disabled" on this page. Also check this page out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hmm... It seems I should have checked this forum before signing up, the entire reason I got an account with Heliohost is it's ASP.NET compatibility. Is there anything I/we as users can do to aid the convalescence of Heliohosts ASP.NET functionality? Having done a rather extensive search over the World Wide Web I have found no other free hosts that use ASP.NET without some form of annoying catch... Can anyone recommend one? Or at least inform me of a very cheap ASP.NET host? I say very cheap or free not because I begrudge paying for a service I use but because I'm really poor! Cheers all and anyone!

Ashoat Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 The only thing you guys could do to help get ASP.NET back online is to give us more money so we can purchase a new server. I'm working on making a more in-depth signup script that will hopefully slow down signups which should speed up the server which might allow us to re-enable ASP.NET, but I'm not sure at this point. I'll hopefully know more details in around a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
