MVC 3 based hosting plan

[Jaazmine]

I am interested in your UK Windows Shared hosting plans and also read all the information related to it on your website. All the features are great and that too at an affordable price. As I have developed my website in ASP 4.0 and MVC 3, so just wanted to confirm that does your hosting plans support MVC 3

Yes, we have few servers which support MVC 3. You just need to mention it in the comments section while placing the order. Our system admins will setup your account on the server which has MVC 3 installed on it.

Ok Jaazmine. We have few servers which support MVC 3 and I would like highlight some of the features of ASP.NET MVC and which are as follows MVC belongs for - Microsoft Model View Controller. The Microsoft Model View Controller (MVC) delivers few primary benefits to the clients but those benifits are as the client do get a complete Separation of Concerns, MVC do allow Testability on the platform, and TDD - All the core contracts between the MVC framework are completely interface based and can be managed very easily. Where as they do provide unit test for the application without having to run the Controllers within an ASP.NET process.

MVC with Extensible with Pluggable Feature - This package allow client to plug-in to thier own view engine, routing policy, parameter serialization. It also support existing dependency injection and IOC container models. Powerful URL Mapping Component Integrated - URLs do not need to have extensions within them, and are designed to easily support Search Engine Optimization and REST- as friendly naming patterns.

There are no additional charges for using MVC 3. But just make sure that you mention it in the comments section while placing the order.

You can use ASP.NET MVC 3, which is just fine. What you need to do is make sure you copy the DLL files to your bin folder.

Here are the files you need:
------------------------------------------------
Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll
System.Web.Helpers.dll
System.Web.Mvc.dll
System.Web.Razor.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.dll
System.Web.WebPages.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll
------------------------------------------------

Such files will be found at the location Crogram Files (x86)Microsoft ASP.NETASP.NET Web Pagesv1.0Assemblies.

I have successfully put MVC 3 with the Razor view engine using the DLLs above. It works just fine.

Note: if you are not using a 64-bit OS those would be here: Crogram FilesMicrosoft ASP.NETASP.NET Web Pagesv1.0Assemblies
