Hosting asp.net sites on linux server with Mono

Hi,

I am not a programmer so my technical knowledge is somewhat limited, so you guys will have to go easy on me.

I was wondering if anyone has experience running asp.net sites on a linux server with mono? http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

If so, what are your thoughts? Was it a disaster? Relatively easy or terribly difficult to set up?

Just looking for someone that has done this before, and can answer these questions. Obv. I need this done, so this could lead to a nice project for the right person.

 

I would more question why you would do it? Price difference between windows and linux hosting is tiny - in some cases windows hosting is cheaper.

As a port, it is reasonable (esp compared to the attempts to port Classic ASP) but simply isnt as stable/ complete as .Net in Windows.

 

Thanks for the reply. Basically, we are paying for a windows and a linux server, but have quit using asp, and don't want to pay for two servers any longer. Stability is definitely an issue, but the savings of having to only pay for one server instead of two is pretty big.

 

For the stability I suggest you windows server.

 

Then why not dump the *nix server? Windows will run PHP without any issues

 

Mostly because we are doing a bunch of WordPress sites nowadays and I can't seem to figure out the installation process on the windows server, and have given up.
