We've updated our ASP.NET hosting plan names
We have refreshed the names of our ASP.NET hosting plans. If your account still shows an older plan name (for example ASP.NET Starter), nothing about your service has changed — it is the same plan, with the same resources and the same price. We are progressively transitioning every account to the new plan names, so your account label will be updated to the current name over time. No action is required on your part, and your features and billing are unaffected.
Current ASP.NET plans
| Plan | Price | Websites / Domains | Subdomains | SSD Storage | Bandwidth | App Pool RAM (per site) | MS SQL Server databases | MySQL / MariaDB databases |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASP.NET Developer | $9.49/mo | 2 | 5 | 30 GB | 50 GB | 1 GB | 2 (2 GB each) | 2 (2 GB each) |
| ASP.NET Business | $17.49/mo | 5 | 10 | 50 GB | 100 GB | 2 GB | 5 (2 GB each) | 5 (2 GB each) |
| ASP.NET Professional | $27.49/mo | 10 | 25 | 200 GB | 250 GB | 4 GB (priority scheduling) | 10 (2 GB each) | 10 (2 GB each) |
All plans run on Windows with dedicated application pools, SQL Server 2022 / 2025 and MySQL/MariaDB databases, and support for the latest .NET (formerly ASP.NET Core) along with classic ASP.NET 4.x.
Legacy plan names — what they're called now
If your account shows one of the older names below, here is its current equivalent:
| Legacy plan name | Current name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| ASP.NET Starter | ASP.NET Developer | Identical plan — same resources, same price. |
| ASP.NET Economy | ASP.NET Business | Equivalent tier (Business includes 10 subdomains). |
| ASP.NET Core Starter v2 / Economy v2 | Map to their namesake (Developer / Business) | Same plan family under the refreshed names. |
| ASP.NET Deluxe / ASP.NET Core Deluxe v2 | Legacy — kept as is | You keep all of your current features and your price: 10 websites, 10 subdomains, 200 GB SSD storage, 250 GB bandwidth, 4 GB app pool RAM per site, 10 MS SQL Server databases (2 GB each) and 10 MySQL/MariaDB databases (2 GB each). The add-ons below are available to you, and you can move to any current plan yourself under Services > My Services > Upgrade/Downgrade. |
| ASP.NET Ultimate | Legacy — kept as is | You keep all of your current features and your price. Open a ticket if you would like to compare it with the current plans. |
Databases: what is included and how to get more
Every plan includes the MS SQL Server (2022 or 2025) and MySQL/MariaDB databases listed in the table above. Each database may hold up to 2 GB of data. For MS SQL Server databases the transaction log has its own separate 500 MB limit, so it does not count against the 2 GB. New databases you create get this limit automatically. You create databases yourself in Plesk under Websites & Domains > Databases > Add Database; unused database slots cost nothing extra.
| Need | Add-on | Price | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| A larger SQL Server database (for example 3 GB or more) | SQL 5GB SSD Disk Space Addon | $6.25/mo or $75.00/yr | Adds 5 GB of SQL Server storage to your subscription; it can be assigned to one database or spread over several. |
| A larger MariaDB database | MySQL MariaDB 5GB SSD Disk Space Addon | $6.25/mo or $75.00/yr | The same 5 GB, for MySQL/MariaDB databases. |
| More SQL Server databases than your plan includes | Add 5 SQL 2025 Databases / Add 10 SQL 2025 Databases | $2.99/mo or $35.99/yr / $4.99/mo or $59.99/yr | Raises the number of MS SQL Server databases on your subscription. |
Order add-ons in your Client Area: Services > View available Addons > Order Now (see How do I purchase addons for my account?). Database add-ons are applied by our team after payment, so activation is not instant; nothing about your databases, users, hostnames or connection strings changes. Other add-ons (app pool RAM, website storage, bandwidth, subdomains, SmarterMail) are listed on the same page with their prices.
What this means for you
- Your features don't change. A renamed plan keeps the same websites, subdomains, storage, bandwidth and RAM allowances.
- Your price doesn't change because of the rename.
- Your account label will be updated to the current name as we complete the transition.
Email on your plan
Email is provided through SmarterMail, accessed at https://adaptivewebmail.com, and it handles multiple domains — so mailboxes on a second domain (for example info@your-second-domain) are reached at the same webmail login.
Email is added per domain: in your Client Area, go to Services > your hosting plan > Addons and add the SmarterMail Email add-on at $1.99/mo per domain. Once it's active, create the mailbox in SmarterMail. Each domain that needs mailboxes requires its own add-on, and larger mailbox-count or storage upgrades are available as separate add-ons.
Free SSL (HTTPS)
Every plan includes free SSL certificates via Let's Encrypt. SSL is installed per domain in Plesk and is not applied automatically when you add a new domain. To secure a domain: in Plesk go to Websites & Domains > (the domain) > SSL/TLS Certificates > "SSL It!", issue the free Let's Encrypt certificate, and optionally enable "Keep this website secured" / redirect to HTTPS. Once installed, it renews automatically. Repeat this once for each domain you add.
Adding a second domain / website
If your plan's website allowance has room (for example, the Developer plan allows 2 websites/domains), you can add another domain in Plesk under Websites & Domains > Add Domain. Then install a free SSL certificate for the new domain (above), and — if you want mailboxes on it — add the SmarterMail Email add-on for that domain from your Client Area (Services > Addons).
