Can't recommend any for linux. If it was windows, then discountasp.net would be a good choice for as low as $10 a month. Others have mysql (discountasp dropped mysql for some reason).

I would only comment on. "I think all these are easier on Linux compared to Windows Hosting."
I think maybe people still don't know. VSExpress is free and easy, SqlExpress is free and easy, iis7 is free with vista, php has .net version. You can also control iis7 and sql remotely with the native tools. Not sure I buy this easier or cheaper argument any more. In fact, using IIS7 manager and sql manager remotely is about is as sweet as it gets.

I understand that now a days most of the hosts offer IIS + SQLServer in their standard shared hosting packagage.

As per my understanding of the product, it was develop with OpenSuse/Mysql/PhpMyAdmin for their testing and would like to continue with that. As it makes it easier and cheaper for their customer who do not wish to go for ASP mode and wants in house installation.

Also they are using Joomla for certain parts. I think all these are easier on Linux compared to Windows Hosting.

What's the advantage of Mono hosting when ASP.NET hosting is already available at a relatively low price already?
