Most business applications are forms-over-data applications that provide a UI for viewing, adding, and modifying data. When you use other development tools to build forms-over-data applications, much of your time is spent on repetitive tasks. You write code to interact with a database, you write code for the user interface, and you write code for the business logic. When you use LightSwitch, much of the repetitive work is done for you and, in fact, you can create a LightSwitch application without writing any code at all! For most applications, the only code you have to write is the code that only you can write: the business logic.

How To Find Best and Cheap Visual Studio Lightswitch Hosting

This is best and cheap hosting Visual Studio LightSwitch guide consists of the following subjects :

• Basic understanding on current budget hosting business.
• Cheap hosting services I recommend
• Common problems (and solutions) with cheap web host.
• List of some of the cheapest hosting services in market (below $5.00/mo, see chart on right).

First, let’s define the term “cheap”. In order to fall into the ‘cheap web hosting’ category, how cheap a hosting plan needs to be?

Being in this line for more than a decade, I see hosting prices drop drastically for the past 5 years – first, we called $8.95/mo cheap, then $7.95/mo, $6.95/mo, $4.95/mo, and it goes as low as $1.95/mo in certain occasions these days.

So how cheap is cheap ?

Quick answer: Below $5.00/mo, with adequate features.

By adequate features, I mean hosting services that come with features that match current market standard. The standards may change from time to time (for example years ago a $5.00/mo hosting deal can get you only 6 addon domains, 5GB storage, and 10GB data transfer.

At this time of writing, a standard cheap hosting deal should at least cover sufficient power to host at least 50 – 100 not-so-active domains with basic web statistics support, email and web mail services, auto script installations, updated PHP and MySQL, basic after-sale technical support, and at least 99.8% server uptime. It would be a plus if the host can provide regular server backup, periodic malware scanning, and additional dedicated IP as well as private SSL certifications; but honestly you really can’t ask for too much with a host cheaper than your coffee.
