Right now, asp.net doesn't work out of the box on debian/redhat based distros that I'm aware of.  But hopefully this will be improving soon, because in fact it *does* work when you build from source, which is straightforward and easy.

I have also found, that there's almost no compatibility between MS asp.ent, and Mono asp.net.  Meaning - if you create an asp.net project in VS, or in XS/MD, and then try to run it on the other platform - there is almost no template that works on both, and the templates bear almost no semblance to each other.

For the time being, if you want to host asp.net, I would suggest:  This is something MS does extremely well on Azure.  You just go into VS, click New ASP.Net project, and then Publish using your Azure username & password.  Nothing could possibly be simpler or more powerful...   This is assuming you have VS and Windows laying around to do development on...
