The in-depth review to HostGator ASP.NET hosting is written from Windows platform, .NET framework support, IIS configuration, MSSQL database, technical support, and price, based on our true experience on hosting an ASP.NET MVC3 website with HostGator in the past 10 months. Overall, HostGator ASP.NET hosting is reliable, fast, secure and affordable from our editors' opinion.HostGator ASP.NET hosting is not well-known as its rock-solid Linux shared web hosting packages. It was launched officially since May, 2011. HostGator ASP.NET hosting is young, but their experienced technical team doesn't make clients disappointed.
HostGator ASP.NET Hosting Features

HostGator Reliability & Speed
We have tested the server response speed of HostGator. Check out the uptime statistics in the following chart.HostGator utilizes all DELL branded servers, award-winning The Planet data center, and the mature Windows Server 2008 R2 system. You haven't needed to worry about the reliability of ASP.NET web hosting.
HostGator ASP.NET Hosting Security
HostGator put the security as the highest priority on ASP.NET web hosting. Their IIS environment is configured as Medium Trust Level, but not FULL trust as some other ASP.NET web hosts. This may break the flexibility on some ASP.NET site programs invoking Windows kernel, but it guarantees the security and stability of Windows server. If your ASP.NET website doesn't rely on Windows fundamental APIs, HostGator shall be your best secure option.HostGator is also very careful on MSSQL database security. They allow remote TCP/IP 1433 connection from the client SQL Server Management Studio, but they have a firewall to prevent the connection from unknown sources. At every time you want to manage your database by SQL Server Management Studio, you need to contact their technical support, asking them to add your local IP address to their firewall white list in 24 hours.
With these actions and the knowledgeable technical staffs, HostGator ASP.NET Hosting is very secure. So far, we haven't gotten any attack, hack, or data leak.
