Deploy a .NET Core application on Hostinger

-

You can deploy a .NET Core 9 (ASP.NET Core) application on Hostinger — but only using their Linux VPS (not shared or Windows hosting). Here's how it works and what plan you'd need:

✅ Supported?

  • Hostinger doesn’t support classic ASP.NET on Linux. Instead, you deploy ASP.NET Core apps on their Ubuntu 22.04 VPS via terminal and reverse-proxy (NGINX) (support.hostinger.com).

🛠 Recommended VPS Plans for .NET Core 9

Hostinger offers four KVM-based VPS tiers optimized for ASP.NET Core deployments (hostinger.in):

Plan vCPU  RAM NVMe SSD Bandwidth Price (India, 24‑mo)
KVM 1 1 4 GB 50 GB 4 TB ₹429/month (renews ₹699)
KVM 2 2 8 GB 100 GB 8 TB ₹599/month (renews ₹949)
KVM 4 4 16 GB 200 GB 16 TB ₹799/month (renews ₹1,999)
KVM 8 8 32 GB 400 GB 32 TB ₹1,699/month (renews ₹3,999)

(Prices from Hostinger India, 24‑month term) (hostinger.in)

⚙ Which Plan Should You Choose?

  • Small/personal apps → KVM 1 (1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM) is enough.

  • Medium apps or light traffic e‑commerce → KVM 2.

  • Production-grade / higher traffic → KVM 4+ for better performance and scalability.

Tip: VPSs can be upgraded anytime, giving you future flexibility.

🚀 Deployment Overview

  1. Buy a Linux VPS with ASP.NET (Ubuntu 22.04).

  2. SSH into the server.

  3. Confirm .NET version with dotnet --version.

  4. Publish your app: dotnet publish -c Release.

  5. Create a systemd service to run your .dll.

  6. Install/configure NGINX as a reverse proxy (port 80/443 → localhost:5000).

  7. Obtain SSL via Certbot.

  8. Enable and start your service. (hostinger.com, reddit.com, support.hostinger.com, reddit.com)

✅ Pros & Cons

✅ Pros:

  • Full control (SSH access, install anything).

  • Affordable pricing.

  • Modern Linux hosting for .NET Core.

⚠️ Cons:

  • No Windows/IIS support — you’re on Linux.

  • Requires setup experience — command-line, NGINX, SSL, systemd.

  • Limited VPS support — Hostinger covers VM issues, but you self-manage your stack (reddit.com, support.hostinger.com, evbn.org, hostinger.in).

🔧 Alternatives

If you prefer a more managed or Windows-based environment:

  • Azure App Service (Linux/Windows): fully managed, starts small/free .

  • DigitalOcean / Linode: similar Linux VPS but more DIY (reddit.com).

  • SmarterASP.NET, FreshRoastedHosting: budget Windows/.NET hosting with IIS (reddit.com).


You can host a .NET Core 9 app on Hostinger — just pick a VPS (KVM) plan (start at ₹429/m), deploy on Ubuntu, configure NGINX & systemd. It’s cost-effective and flexible — but you’ll manage the server yourself.

Singleton Design Pattern Realtime Example of banking

Image
Logger Utility in a Banking System using Singleton In a banking application, you might have a logger that logs important events like transactions, errors, and user activities. You want to ensure that only one instance of the logger exists throughout the application to maintain a consistent log format and avoid file access conflicts. 1) Why Singleton? A logging class doesn't need multiple instances. One instance is sufficient and more efficient. 2) Consistency: All log messages are centralized through one instance. 4) Resource Management: Avoids file access conflicts and redundant memory usage. using System; public sealed class Logger {     private static Logger instance;     // Private constructor to prevent instantiation from outside     private Logger()    {         Console.WriteLine(" Logger Initialized. ");     }     // Public method to get the single instance     public static Logger ...
