In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up a Umbraco website within an ASP.NET shared web hosting provider. The purpose of this guide is to show you how easy it can be to install Umbraco. As you will see below, as long as you pick a hosting company that supports Umbraco, getting going is nothing to worry about.

As a provider, the support and hosting Arvixe offers is pretty good, and it was easy to get started. If learning these steps is of interest to you, read on 🔥🔥🔥

Configuring Your Umbraco Hosting Configuration

The last part of the puzzle is to configure Umbraco with your website details. The details that you will need are:

  • A website domain name

  • Pick a database name, username and password

  • Click on the Install button and job done 💥

The Install button will install Umbraco. When that is finished, the normal Umbraco installer. If you are unsure of what to do on this screen, I have previously written about the steps you need to follow in, How To Install Umbraco 7 In Less Than 5 Minutes. Go through the steps and you will end up with a working Umbraco website 😊


As you now know, setting up a Umbraco website within a shared hosting provider can be very easy. The steps you need to follow are the same as hosting any normal ASP.NET Framework website. You can pick any hosting company you want, however, it might be handy to know Arvixe supports Umbraco installation from its dashboard directly. Happy Coding 🤘
