Hijacking a bit of the thread. Does anyone know of a price sensitive ASP.NET setup?

I would love to use ASP.NET for hobby projects, but it really is quite prohibitive price-wise compared to almost every other web setup.

Hopefully prices will go down with ASP.NET 5 being able to run on OS X and Linux, but as of right now I haven't really found any cheap alternatives to Azure to run ASP.NET on.

Price sensitivity is open to interpretation. I have a Windows VPS from AccuwebHosting

Less than $10 a month on their lower priced plans; although over the years I have beefed up my machine. I use it for ColdFusion apps/sites primarily, however there is no reason why .NET wouldn't work.

Thanks, I'll check it out. Pricing looks good.

You can just use cheapest DO droplet and run it under mono. That's what I do for the last year.
