1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions. Or if you must, use the Back Room[^] - but enter at your own risk.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen. For those discussions where you wish to be a little more frank, use the Soapbox[^]
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I might do a WebSite for my home pet project soon...
I am going to use ASP .NET Core for the dynamic part and will need a database and some disk storage (for user's upload and custom web page content)
Any hosting suggestion?
I am wondering about Azure, might be good as a learning experience, but might be overpriced for my hobby needs...
Though I did find it can do quite a lot for free!
Discount ASP seems good ..
Any other suggestion and / or recommendations?

I really like http://SmarterASP.Net. Moved to it from GoDaddy and have had very good experiences.
It is very cheap and you can host multiple domains, etc. All the .NET features you are looking for including .NET Core 2.x and actually some decent support.
If you want you can use my affiliate link to get there : SmarterASP.net - Unlimited ASP.NET Web Hosting[^]
60 Day Free Trial
Also, I there is a 60 day free trial with no credit card or payment method required.
If after the 60 days you want to keep it you can sign up. Very nice for insuring it supports what you want.

That's the best pricing combos I've seen. I'll have to take a closer look for the non-hobby sites I run.

In my opinion, Azure, AWS, etc., are all a scam for the hobbyist - minimal storage space, microbrain virtual processor and memory, etc. Granted, they provide great services for corporations, but as a hobbyist, no way, no how, am I going to suffer the inequities of someone else's concept of "free" and what I get for "free", until they change their minds.
So in my opinionated opinion, host the site yourself. Buy a cheap domain name for $5 /yr, get a free SSL cert from LetsEncrypt, and set up your router to accept ports 80 & 443. Read my article on how to set up IIS and obtain your SSL cert, and start serving!
Take control of your web server!

What a wonderful idea! 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I only have ADSL, unreliable connection.. 
But hosting the site your self is an interesting concept indeed!
Might have to rethink that one once / if I got optic fiber network one day!

So I turned 50 last Friday.
Bought myself a new barbeque and fridge for the kitchen. Old fridge is now in the backyard so I have a beer fridge in the garage and the backyard.
Saturday was a barbie and piss up in the backyard. I survived and decided I should help myself to more on Sunday as I had heaps left over as people pulled out Saturday morning.
When I got up at 08:00 Sunday morning I noticed I had made a number of phone calls the night before around 18:00 to 17:00 taht lasted at least 15 minutes each. Don't remember dialling the numbers nor what I said during the conversations.
Had a great time, too bad you didn't come along.

I am working on that app at home, as a hobby...
And I am thinking to make a web site for it.
I don't expect a hug traffic, but there will be a forum, with, maybe, 10 posts a day?
Now, since I am a .NET enthusiast I am thinking of hosting the domain on Azure.
But I am a little scare of the elastic pricing....
How much will it cost me to host in on Azure on average,do you think?
[EDIT]
There seems to be a rang of things for free!
Including Website!
Database will be free for one year, fair enough...

You will know it only when you get the bill...
The Pricing Calculator for Azure[^] is seems to be so complicated (probably on purpose)...
I once run a free account (it has a time limit of a year IIRC), and was careless, so run out of the time limit and payed a nice sum of $50+ to learn it...
(To be honest others have the same lost-in-the-fog policy... With AWS you are calculating your savings, not the price )

I know what you mean. I was thinking of experimenting for a couple of home projects where an always available DB would save me a load of work in replication / reconciliation - but couldn't work out what the heck it was going to cost me so said "sod it" and didn't bother.

Is it something local here or do you have it also?

Personally, I drink for the time being
I am almost afraid to ask what concoction one drinks for evil. I'm guessing it minimally involves cheap tequila.

So I have some filter (ISP based) to block unwanted content (mostly for kids, but not only)...
Yesterday I wanted to go on and edit an other part of the HTML/CSS story once started, and behold - the editing is blocked... I can read what I have already in the article, but editing is blocked...
As I have no idea what my password (or username) is I will have to connect them by phone...
