An existing .NET CMS website taken off ad-hoc or expensive hosting and put on modern rails: one Linux container behind a shared edge proxy on a low-cost VPS, its database on a separate managed SQL box, with two slots so a candidate build deploys automatically and production is a deliberate, human-gated promotion. Delivery includes a handover package so the site is not hostage to whoever built it.
What ports as-is
- The container recipe for a CMS on .NET 10 (forwarded headers behind the proxy, persisted data-protection keys, models mode fixed for the container, unattended schema upgrade on boot, per-slot volumes for media, data, logs and keys)
- The blue/green pipeline pair to a container registry with automatic candidate builds and dispatch-only promotion
- The shared edge proxy with automatic certificates
- The database rescue and migration sequence
- Backoffice access for agents through an API user
- The handover convention (readme as handover document, git-ignored deployment and credentials manifests, a seeded content backup, an in-repo agent harness)
What we build for you
- Their content model and serialized document types
- The front-end skin and stylesheet pipeline
- Custom editor plugins and form handlers
- The database restore and its quirks
- The domain
- DNS and certificate cutover
- Slot naming
