When you choose a VPS at netart.com, you can install a Windows Server operating system on it. By doing so, you gain access to popular and widely used development frameworks such as ASP.NET and .NET Core. Combining them with SQL Express database, available at netart.com in the Software as a Service model, you will create modern and fast applications to meet all the business needs of your organization.
What is ASP.NET?
ASP.NET is a Microsoft-developed platform that allows building dynamic websites and web applications. It provides support for HTML5, CSS and JavaScript, which are highly scalable. It allows the use of many programming languages, which are included in the framework (for example, Visual Basic or C#). The user has at his disposal a sizable database of libraries covering the components needed for application development. The platform additionally provides caching, so that code that is frequently called by users can be stored for reuse, without the need to recompile it.
Other advantages of ASP.NET include:
- Simplicity and security
Using ASP.NET technology allows for efficient memory management, increased application security and ease of use. The whole thing runs in a Windows environment that is familiar to developers.
- Performance
Websites and web applications created using ASP.NET run very fast. This is due to the fact that once compiled, the code stored in memory can be used any number of times.
- Lower application development costs
ASP.NET is a platform available in an open source model, and applications can be edited using Microsoft’s developer text editors or Visual Studio software. Efficiency in development translates into lower development costs.
What is .NET Core?
.NET Core is a development tool from Microsoft available in an open source model. It allows you to develop cross-platform applications. The main advantages of .NET Core include:
- the ability to build mobile applications in Android and iOS by using Xamarin;
- clear code structure affecting shorter development process;
- integration of essential functions into the platform without the need to install additional software;
- optimization of the platform for performance;
- modular structure, easy dependency management and the ability to run applications in containers.
.NET Core is continuously developed by a large community of users. It can be seamlessly customized to meet the requirements of individual projects. It allows the use of different architectures, operating systems and servers (for example, IIS, Apache or Ngnix).
What is SQL Express?
SQL Express is a relational database server, available from netart.com in a SaaS model. It uses a proprietary implementation of the SQL query language, Transact-SQL. With it, it has extended capabilities, including variable declaration, exception handling and stored procedure. SQL Express features a high level of security. It is a server that is often used for storing sensitive information, such as customers’ personal information or credit card numbers, for example.
Among the advanced security features of SQL Express server is Always Encrypted technology. It allows encrypted data to be updated without having to decrypt it. The system also allows so-called transparent encryption of information. The ability to use the TLS protocol for communication between SQL Express and applications further enhances data security.
SQL Express advantages:
- increase in the speed of performing complex operations;
- support for Business Intelligence operations and transaction processing;
- advanced data analysis and report generation with SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) and SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS);
- parameterized queries and validation protects data from SQL Injection attacks.
