Yes — we fully support .NET 8 LTS on our Windows Server 2022 + IIS 10 hosting plans. .NET 8 LTS is the long-term-support release of what Microsoft used to call ASP.NET Core 8, supported through November 2026.

Key Features of Our .NET 8 LTS Support:

  • Native AOT + Blazor SSR: All modern .NET 8 LTS features supported on dedicated IIS Application Pools.

  • Real SQL Server 2022: Full SQL Server 2022 (not Express) with Entity Framework Core 8 for production data workloads.

  • Side-by-Side Runtimes: .NET 8 LTS runs alongside .NET 10 LTS and legacy ASP.NET 4.8 on the same plan — pin per site.

  • Comprehensive Tooling Support: Web Deploy from Visual Studio, MSDeploy from CI pipelines, GitHub Actions, and FTP/FTPS deployment all supported.

  • Dedicated IIS Application Pools: Each site runs in its own pool — your worker process never shares with neighbours.

  • FREE SSL + WAF: Auto-renewing Let's Encrypt SSL on every site, Web Application Firewall, DDoS protection.

Getting Started with .NET 8 LTS:

  1. Choose Your Hosting Plan: Developer ($9.49/mo), Business ($17.49/mo), or Professional ($27.49/mo) — see the comparison chart.

  2. Deploy Your Application: Use Web Deploy, MSDeploy, FTP, or Plesk file manager. GitHub Actions templates supported.

  3. Configure Your Environment: Plesk for Windows handles IIS app pool configuration, environment variables, and connection strings.

  4. Monitor and Manage: Built-in Plesk monitoring + IIS logs + SQL Server query diagnostics.

Note: We are a Windows-only ASP.NET / .NET specialist host. We do not offer Linux or PHP hosting. For Linux/PHP workloads, please refer to a provider that specialises in that stack.
