Web Deployment Services for .NET Applications

Deploying a web application to a production environment involves more than publishing the application files. The server, application configuration, database, domain, SSL certificate, permissions, and deployment process all need to be configured correctly.

DotNet Expert provides web deployment services for ASP.NET Core and .NET applications , helping businesses deploy applications to IIS, Windows Server, VPS hosting, Azure App Service, and other supported environments.

We can help with new application deployments, existing application migrations, server configuration, database deployment, SSL setup, deployment automation, troubleshooting, and post-deployment support.

Web deployment across cloud, VPS, hosting, Windows Server and Linux

What Is Web Deployment?

Web deployment is the process of moving a web application from a development or staging environment to a production environment where customers, employees, or other users can access it.

For a modern .NET application, deployment may involve:

  • Publishing the application
  • Configuring IIS or another web server
  • Installing required .NET hosting components
  • Configuring application pools
  • Setting production environment variables
  • Configuring database connections
  • Applying Entity Framework Core migrations
  • Setting file and folder permissions
  • Configuring a custom domain
  • Installing an SSL certificate
  • Configuring HTTPS
  • Testing the production application
  • Setting up backups and monitoring
  • Automating future deployments

A properly planned deployment helps reduce configuration errors, unnecessary downtime, and problems when updating the application.

Technologies We Work With

We work with both modern and legacy web technologies, allowing us to handle new deployments, existing applications, and migration projects.

Application Technologies

.NET C# ASP.NET Core MVC Web Forms Classic ASP Blazor Web API

Data & ORM

Entity Framework EF Core SQL Server PostgreSQL MySQL

Hosting & Deployment

IIS Windows Server Azure App Service GitHub Actions

Depending on the project, we can also work with Razor Pages, Redis, REST APIs, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Web Deploy, and third-party integrations.

Our Web Deployment Process

We use a structured deployment process based on the application's architecture and hosting environment.

01

01. Project Assessment

We review the application, technology stack, database, hosting environment, domain requirements, and deployment objectives.

This helps identify the technical requirements before production changes are made.

02

02. Environment Preparation

We prepare the target server or hosting environment.

Depending on the project, this may include IIS, .NET runtime components, database connectivity, server software, application permissions, and other dependencies.

03

03. Application Deployment

The application is published and deployed to the target environment.

We verify that the application files, dependencies, configuration, and required runtime components are correctly installed.

04

04. Database Deployment

If the application requires database changes, we apply the appropriate migrations or deployment scripts.

We also verify database connectivity and application permissions.

05

05. Production Configuration

Production-specific settings are configured according to the application requirements.

These may include:

  • Connection strings
  • Environment variables
  • API endpoints
  • Authentication settings
  • File storage paths
  • Logging configuration
  • Application URLs
  • Third-party service credentials

Sensitive configuration values should be stored using appropriate server or hosting configuration mechanisms rather than hard-coded into the application.

06

06. Domain and SSL Setup

When required, we configure the custom domain and HTTPS certificate and verify that the application is accessible through the correct secure URL.

07

07. Testing

After deployment, we test important application functionality.

Depending on the project, this may include:

  • Application startup
  • Login and authentication
  • Database operations
  • API endpoints
  • File uploads
  • Email functionality
  • Third-party integrations
  • HTTPS
  • Application logs
  • Key business workflows
08

08. Performance and Configuration Review

We review the production configuration and identify potential issues that could affect application performance or reliability.

09

09. Backup and Recovery

For existing production applications, we recommend verifying appropriate backups before major deployment or migration work.

Where required, we can also help review the application's backup and recovery approach.

10

10. Handover and Support

After deployment, we provide the required deployment information and help resolve deployment-related issues.

Ongoing maintenance and deployment support can also be arranged for applications that require regular updates.

Domain and SSL Configuration

After deploying an application, it needs to be accessible through the correct domain and securely over HTTPS.

We can assist with:

  • Custom domain configuration
  • DNS configuration guidance
  • SSL certificate installation
  • HTTPS binding
  • HTTP to HTTPS redirection
  • Certificate renewal configuration
  • www and non-www domain configuration

This helps ensure that users can access the application through a secure and properly configured URL.

Web Deploy and MSDeploy

Microsoft Web Deploy, commonly known as MSDeploy , is a deployment technology used to synchronize web applications, configuration, and other deployment-related resources between environments.

It can be useful for IIS-based applications and teams that regularly deploy updates.

Depending on the project, we can configure Microsoft Web Deploy or use another deployment approach that better fits the application's hosting environment.

CI/CD and Deployment Automation

If your application is updated frequently, manually publishing files to the server can become inefficient and error-prone.

We can configure automated deployment workflows using:

  • GitHub Actions
  • Azure DevOps
  • Microsoft Web Deploy
  • MSDeploy
  • Other suitable CI/CD tools

A typical automated workflow can be structured as:

Code Commit → Build → Test → Publish → Deploy → Verify

Automation can make future releases more consistent and reduce repetitive manual deployment tasks.

Application Migration to a New Server

If your existing application is running on an old or unreliable server, we can help move it to a new hosting environment.

A migration may involve:

  1. Reviewing the existing application
  2. Preparing the new server
  3. Installing required runtime components
  4. Configuring IIS
  5. Moving application files
  6. Migrating or connecting the database
  7. Configuring environment settings
  8. Setting up the domain
  9. Installing SSL
  10. Testing the application
  11. Switching production traffic

Before migration, we can identify application dependencies and configuration requirements that need to be addressed on the new server.

Production Deployment Troubleshooting

Sometimes an application works correctly on a developer's machine but fails after deployment.

Common production issues include:

  • HTTP 500 errors
  • HTTP 403 errors
  • Application startup failures
  • Incorrect connection strings
  • Missing .NET runtime or Hosting Bundle
  • IIS configuration problems
  • Database connection failures
  • File permission issues
  • SSL or certificate problems
  • Environment variable issues
  • Static file problems
  • Incorrect application paths
  • API or third-party integration failures

We can investigate deployment-related issues, identify the underlying configuration problem, and help restore the application.

Why Is Web Deployment Important?

A production deployment affects application availability, security, maintainability, and the overall user experience.

A structured deployment process can help you:

Reduce Deployment Errors

Production environments often have different settings from development environments. Proper configuration helps prevent problems caused by incorrect connection strings, missing dependencies, permissions, or environment variables.

Minimize Downtime

A planned deployment process can reduce the time an application is unavailable during an update or migration.

Improve Security

HTTPS, appropriate permissions, secure configuration, and properly managed production settings are important parts of a secure deployment environment.

Simplify Future Updates

A consistent deployment process makes future application releases easier to manage.

Protect Application Data

Backups and appropriate database migration procedures can help reduce the risk of data loss during major production changes.

Improve Reliability

Testing the application after deployment helps identify environment-specific problems before they affect users.
