What are the alternative of IIS? What would be pros and cons of using any server other than IIS for Asp.net application Hosting?

You can try UltiDev Cassini which is a "free, light-weight and re-distributable web server that can host ASP.NET 3.5, 3.0, 2.0 and 1.1 applications and static HTML sites". (It is based on the original Cassini web server).
now there is UltiDev Web Server Pro UWS which supports ASP.NET 4, 3.x, 2.0 and 1.1.
I dont think there is pros of using UltiDev over IIS

I am going to deploy 2 ASP.NET Core 2.2 web applications onto an IIS environment. I was wondering if there were any options in the market to facilitate automatic deployment?
For my previous application that was in PHP, I could use a service called Deploybot that took my code from GitHub and pushed it onto a server. I really enjoyed that one because setup was straightforward and I could easily rollback or deploy new code due to it being tied to my GitHub branch.
Are there any similar tools I can use for .NET Core? So far I've seen Jenkins as a recommendation. Are there any other services that perform similarly to Deploybot but for .NET Core applications?
My current planned method is to use WebDeploy and publish the applications straight from Visual Studio. But the problem is that it won't have a proper link to GitHub.
Azure DevOps, Jenkins, TeamCity, TravisCI, AppVeyor. These are just a few of the tools that you can use to facilitate CD (Continuous Deployment) from sources like GitHub, BitBucket, git, tfs, etc.
I've used both AzureDevOps and AppVeyor in the past, and found both of them to be really good at what they do. Although, I've only used Azure DevOps in a professional setting and AppVeyor for personal projects.
I've written about how to set up AppVeyor with .NET Core in the past - here is a link to that article.

Exactly one year ago there were some posts from Microsoft about project Helios. This was an OWIN implementation to self host your servers using IIS in a light way. The last Nuget package is from march 2014 Project Helios.
Does somebody know what is the current status of this project? Did they include it in the ASP.NET vNext implementation?
According to these comments on GitHub there will be another release. However, a few days ago someone else on the team told me there wasn't another release planned so I'm not sure who's right. Hopefully they do another update for those of us unable to migrate to vNext at the moment.
Project Helios is now part of ASP.NET vNext and is how you host your applications in IIS. The vNext NuGet package was renamed to Microsoft.AspNet.Server.IIS

automatically generates (ASP.Net 3.5
Generator) ASP.Net 3.5 Standard
WebForms (.aspx) in C# 3.5 or VB 9.0

LinqDataSource, based on the tables in
your MS SQL 2000/2005 Database, all in

I am trying to convince my boss to upgrade a couple web app servers from Win 2003 to Win 2008 so I can utilize ASP.Net 4.0 on IIS7. I am also trying to get our SQL Server 2000 upgraded to 2008 so I can use Linq2SQL in VS2010 plus a bunch of other reasons.
But the boss is experiencing sticker shock now that I have told him what it all costs. So I guess I have to possibly cut back some where.
My question is what are the benefits of ASP.Net 4.0 on IIS7 over ASP.Net 4.0 on IIS6 or are there any real benefits?
Do you have to specifically pitch the benefits relative to .NET 4?
The security, management, and pipeline benefits of IIS7 on Server 2008 seem like an easy enough sell over IIS6 on Server 2003.

I'm a ASP.NET MVC Visual Studio, SQL Server web developer. I would like to switch to equivalent open source solutions. Please help me out.
You probably want to look into Mono, MonoDevelop, and MySQL to get started. You can run all of these on your existing Windows machines, and then later move them to Linux machines if you're satisfied with how well they work for you.
As mentioned you should look at Mono and MonoDevelop.
If you are satisfied with ASP.NET MVC, then Mono supports it too. Or you can try open source MonoRail form Castle Project.
As for the database backend I would rather suggest PostgreSQL. For flamewars why that choice look on the net ;)
Visit http://www.codeplex.com/ to get an idea of possible open source solutions under .NET
If you want to move to Linux then you should definitely use Mono which fully supports ASP.NET MVC. You will have plenty of choices to replace IIS, for example Apache with mod_mono, Nginx or Lighttpd. Instead of SQL Server you can use mainstream RDBMSs like MySQL or PostgreSQL. And talk about development is here How to development in Visual Studio and then deploy apps to Linux machine (OS - Ubuntu, web server - Nginx).
