22.5. Choose an ASP.NET-Friendly Host

When you create Web sites in ASP.NET, you almost always need a server that runs Windows Server 2003 or newer. I say almost because some hosting services might offer Linux machines that run a version of ASP.NET under Mono. For best results, find a hosting service that has experience with your version of ASP.NET. Better yet, find one that participated in Microsoft's ASP.NET beta testing.
