How do I deploy my ASP.NET application to Somee?
To deploy your application:
- Publish your project using Visual Studio or your preferred IDE.
- Upload files via FTP to your Somee hosting account.
- Configure your database through the control panel if your application uses MS SQL.
- Set the start page in your web.config file to ensure the correct default page loads.
What happens if my website exceeds the 5 GB monthly transfer limit?
If your website exceeds the 5 GB monthly data transfer limit, it may become temporarily inaccessible until the next billing cycle. To avoid interruptions, consider monitoring your bandwidth usage or upgrading to a paid plan with higher limits.
Is email hosting included in the free plan?
The free plan includes an email forwarding feature but does not provide full mailbox services. For comprehensive email hosting, you may need to explore Somee's paid hosting options.
Can I upgrade my hosting plan later?
Absolutely. Somee offers various paid hosting plans with enhanced features, including increased storage, bandwidth, and support for multiple websites. You can upgrade at any time through your account dashboard.
Is technical support available for free hosting users?
Technical support is limited for free hosting users. For prioritized support and additional assistance, consider upgrading to a paid hosting plan.
How do I keep my website active to prevent automatic removal?
To keep your website active:
- Ensure it receives at least one visit every 30 days.
- For MS SQL databases, perform at least one SQL operation (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) within a 30-day period.
Regular activity helps prevent automatic removal due to inactivity.
What about subdomains?
The free hosting plan includes a free third-level subdomain (e.g., yourname.somee.com).
What versions of MS SQL Server are supported?
MS SQL Express versions 2014, 2016, 2019, and 2022 are supported.
