Under Role Services, make sure you include: ASP.NET 4.8, .NET Extensibility, ISAPI Extensions, and Request Filtering. These enable .NET applications to run in IIS.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Install .NET Runtime \/ Hosting Bundle<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Download and install the .NET Hosting Bundle from Microsoft&#8217;s official site. This includes the .NET runtime, ASP.NET Core module for IIS, and the necessary libraries. Restart IIS after installation.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Deploy Your Application<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copy your published application files to the server (use RDP or FTP). In IIS Manager, create a new Application Pool set to &#8220;No Managed Code&#8221; (for .NET Core) or &#8220;ASP.NET v4.0&#8221; (for .NET Framework). Then create a new website pointing to your application folder.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Configure the Application Pool<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For .NET Core applications, set the Application Pool to &#8220;No Managed Code&#8221; and enable 32-bit applications if needed. For best performance, set &#8220;Idle Time-out&#8221; to 0 (prevents app pool recycling during inactivity).<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Need a reliable Windows VPS for .NET hosting? <a href=\"https:\/\/interserver.net\/r\/1067805?url=interserver.net\/vps\/windows-vps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\">InterServer&#8217;s Windows VPS plans<\/a> include full Windows Server licensing and support for ASP.NET and MSSQL.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deploying a .NET application to a Windows VPS is one of the most common reasons to choose Windows over Linux hosting.
