Source project or compiled DLL
Upload source with a .csproj file or upload a compiled .dll with the dependencies it needs.
Deploy your .NET (C#) app from source or a prebuilt DLL.
Host ASP.NET Core applications, minimal APIs, Blazor Server projects, Discord.Net bots, and Worker Services from GitHub or ZIP/RAR. Upload a .csproj for a source build or a compiled DLL for direct execution.

.NET (C#) workload examples
From ASP.NET Core APIs to workers and bots.
Deploy source code or a prebuilt DLL, configure its startup behavior, and use logs and metrics to follow the .NET process.
Explore capabilitiesASP.NET Core and minimal APIs
Deploy an ASP.NET Core web API or another HTTP application from a .csproj source project or compiled DLL.
Worker Services and background processes
Run a .NET worker process with its own application entry point and use logs and metrics to monitor it.
Discord bot processes
Run a C# bot as a long-running application process, keeping its token in environment variables and following output in logs.
Build or bring an artifact
.NET hosting for source projects and DLLs.
Upload a .csproj source project for automatic build and execution, or a compiled DLL, then operate the process with storage, domains, logs, and restart support.
Choose a .NET runtime version
Select a supported .NET version from the live runtime catalog when creating the application.
Persistent application files
Each application has a 10 GB persistent disk at /app for files that need to survive a restart.
Publish an HTTPS address
Every web application receives a free HTTPS address under *.shardweb.app. Connect your own domain with the Core plan or higher.
Logs and resource metrics
Use application logs plus memory and CPU metrics to inspect build, startup, and runtime behavior.
Automatic restart
Application processes restart automatically; use dashboard logs to investigate a process that stops.
Deployment setup
How to deploy a .NET application on Shard Cloud.
Prepare a source project or DLL, choose the .NET runtime, and verify the application under its real workload.
Get started01
Prepare source or a DLL
Upload a .csproj project with its .cs files, without bin/, obj/ or .vs/, or a compiled .dll with its dependencies, plus .shardcloud.
02
Set MAIN
A .csproj runs with dotnet run --project. A .dll runs with dotnet MyApp.dll.
03
Verify the process
Test the endpoint or worker, then review logs and memory.
From connection to the first decision, in one flow.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about .NET (C#) hosting
Both source and a prebuilt DLL are supported. Upload a .csproj source project for automatic build and execution, or upload a compiled DLL with its dependencies.
Set VERSION=LATEST for the newest supported .NET (C#) release, or VERSION=recommended for the platform's recommended release. Choose the setting compatible with your project and dependencies.
Every app needs at least 256 MB. Use 512 MB or more for a public website or API, then increase it based on observed usage.
Your server must listen on port 80.
