My question is simple and straightforward: I am new to hosting and its process. I have Web Application and I have to host it. I dont know where to host and how? In my list there are Godaddy.com and hostcat.com for hosting and I want to use filezilla for updating the Application. But My concern is my application have Payment gateway and I do not want my site to get down for a minute while updating the version.
Now my question is How to maintain concurrency while updating the application? Any solution where should I host the application and what software should I use for updating.
Any solution or tutorial are highly appreciated.

I'll give a context of what happened to understand better. I used Azure services app to keep my application running, but I created a new datacenter on amazon and migrated my web app to the new server.
I use the iis in it to store the application. It's in asp.net and first there was a slow issue with me. bundles, but with this new migration I saw that was too slow to load them, in azure app services took about 200ms, already on the new server was for 3 seconds each bundle on screen, I solved this problem just pointed the way of scripts without using bundle.
The way I did it was a palliative solution and I didn't solve the root of the problem, the loading time on the screens is still a bit time consuming and is spoiling the user experience.
In azure the same application in their service app does not take so long, already on the server running on iis is taking too long and I think it is some configuration but I was not successful.
This is the application in azure:
azure
This is the application in amazon:
amazon
This both examples is the same app, same database and same user account. I believe the problem is not in the application but in the server config.
Someone can help me about that?
I have been trying to find out how best I can host a JavaEE5 web application with Oracle11g database. I have got my domain registered and currently pointing to my Jboss web application on my laptop.
I would like to host it for a while untill my application gets finished and ideally would like to go on hosting on a professional company server when I start getting increased traffic.
Firstly, to host at my home I want to use a separate dedicated server. Can you please let me know what options I have? Because I have no clue on what to purchase.
Secondly, when I want to go with a professional company server, which ones should I consider that supports JavaEE5 deployments and Oracle11g databases? Let me know if you need more details.
Personally I have experience with OpenShift. Free plan offers JBoss AS 7.1.1 and MySQL or PostgreSQL, but it's very slow (you might want to try these two my demo applications: personal site and e-shop). Paid plans looks for me too expensive here. This solution might be appropriate if you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Another possible solution is Amazon Web Services. There are such services as Elastic Beanstalk that offers you different servers including Tomcat, Amazon Relational Database Service that offers you Oracle Database as well as other RDMSes, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud that enable you install JBoss AS yourself even if Beanstalk with Tomcat doesn't work for you. It looks like AWS is cheaper than OpenShift, but as for me, EC2 is still expensive. Check if price works for you. Buy the way AWS has a free tier the first year of usage that includes EC2 instance. So if you're sure that your project will long less than a year, it might be a good choice. ASW would be appropriate for you if you are ok with Tomcat instead of application server and you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Also I heard positive comments about Digital Ocean, but never tried it. It looks like it offers only infrastructure as service (like AWS EC2) so you will have to install and configure all servers yourself.
I'm about to migrate several separate ASP.NET 4.0 Web Forms applications to Azure. Several are apps using SQL Server 2008. I'm seeing "conflicting" tutorials for this:
Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Windows Azure Web Site and SQL Database
vs
Deploying an ASP.NET Web Application to a Windows Azure Cloud Service and SQL Database
This StackOverflow question goes some way towards explaining this. However, there have been several changes to Azure in recent months and I'm not sure how up to date the information is.
I want as simple a migration process as possible because of the number of sites I have to migrate. Is there a situation where I would have to use the Cloud Service route?
Aside from what the linked-to answer provides: You have to go the Cloud Service route if there are apps you need to install (e.g. an MSI, COM object, etc.). There's simply no facility to do this with Web Sites. In Web Sites, you cannot alter the VM instance at all. With Cloud Services, you have lots of flexibility to install software, alter IIS behavior, pretty much anything you need to do (as long as the installs can be automated).
One point which can be very valuable if you consider migration of ASP.NET 4.0 Web Forms applications - Microsoft Azure Websites do no support SSL for custom domains yet. That might be a blocker for your migration work to the Websites service.
Note that Windows Azure is very dynamic environment with great number of new features coming every new release. In order to be up-to-date I would suggest following ScottGu's Blog to find out about new features and their release dates.
EDIT
Windows Azure Website supports SSL for custom domains now. SSL Certificates and SSL bindings can be configured in Configure tab.
You can also read more about SSL configuration for Azure Website at Configuring an SSL certificate for a Windows Azure web site.
i need to find a good way to update a web application that i am working on. i dont have access to the production environment. the client wants some kind of exe self-update package that i can send over to him and have him run it to update the app. is that do-able? what is the alternatives. right now i am just compiling the site and send everything over.
Sounds like you need a web deployment package. Here's Scott Gu's blog entry on the subject: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/07/29/vs-2010-web-deployment.aspx
WP-o-Matic is a wordpress plugin to auto post based on some configured feeds, it read feeds everything time interval i setup, its working on my blog, my blog is on shared windows web hosting, i want to know how it auto work like that, and because i am on a shared hosting, so sure i didn't setup any windows services on the server, so its just keep working just after activating, seams strange idea for me.
Here's a nice article on how to create a Task Scheduler (similar to Cron) in ASP.NET
i am afraid you will have to write a windows service to run the scheduled jobs in .Net environments. In general, shared hosting companies do not provide a provision to configure a windows service on the servers so you might have to look at other alternative for hosting.
