.NET apps on Linux

.NET runs on Linux, but only Plesk manages it from the panel. A server without a panel can run it if you set it up by hand, while cPanel and DirectAdmin offer no .NET management at all. We say this plainly: every row gives the reason instead of “coming soon”.

03 / What it does5 points

What it does.

When a .NET request comes in, you answer it from this list. The Plesk row shows the installed runtimes and the apps running on them. A server that doesn’t support .NET gets no button, so you never click into an error. Classic ASP.NET needs IIS and won’t run on Linux at all. If you have to tell a customer that, the reason is already on the page.

  1. On Plesk, .NET is managed through the .NET Toolkit extension, with installed versions and apps listed.

  2. cPanel and DirectAdmin don’t support it. The screen says so and gives the reason, instead of showing an empty table.

  3. On a panel-less server it can be installed: it runs with Kestrel and systemd behind a reverse proxy.

  4. Classic ASP.NET needs IIS, so it runs on no server in a Linux fleet. The screen states this with the reason.

  5. Unsupported servers get no action button, so you can’t click one that fails.

Servers without a control panel have no account, reseller or mailbox management, because those come from the panel itself. Firewall, DNS, services and the terminal work over SSH. See the full table
