Friends, help a newbie in a slightly dumb question. In general, there is an android application, and for it you need a server with a minimum of api, which allows you to get into json infu and write it to the database, and accordingly get it from there and give it to the client. Apart from authorization, 1 post and 1 gett request. No tricks are needed, everything is minimally simple. I want to use asp.net web api. Tell me if there are any available articles with an example of how to find a hosting and upload it all there.

Closed due to the fact that it is necessary to reformulate the question so that you can give an objectively correct answer to the party PashaPash ♦ 19 dec '16 at 10:25 .

It means so:

  1. For PHP, you will need Apache for ASP.NET, you will need IIS - these are completely different things and, as a rule, hosting services go immediately with the installed environment
  2. If you make an application that people will use - free hosting is not your option. They are not reliable and easy :) If you write an application just for the test and for yourself, then just put the server with the database and the right environment on your computer and that's it. There are some good solutions for this on the Internet. Search Google for "test server api on your computer". For example, what seemed to me to suit you: http://getjump.me/ru-php-the-right-way/ Only this for PHP !!
  • The application will be used, but in narrow circles, you do not really want to use your computer (if only at the initial stage). I know about falls, but for the beginning all the same we want free. Then the question is - on the hosting, as I understand it, it’s already worth the DB, but how to upload the project on asp? - Annaoomph
  • On such hosting, as a rule, there is ftp on it and throw. Also in Visual Studio there is an opportunity to register data for uploading files to the north and it will throw everything away itself - the work will be more convenient and faster. - Michael Vaysman
  • Okay thank you. A bit cleared up) - Annaoomph
