Officially the only server you can host any ASP.NET application in is IIS. Now you could host on a Linux server with Mono installed and apache properly configured, but apache configuration can be a nightmare if you don't know what you're doing. I have my own ASP.NET app running in IIS 7 on Go-Daddy's servers, and haven't had too many configuration errors yet. I did run into a database permissions issue, but that's to be expected in a hosted environment.
