One of the major selling points of WordPress is its huge array of 3rd party plugins. You'd need to port the most popular ones before the C# version got any traction.

How's Linux for .NET hosting? Because Linux hosts are generally cheaper than Windows hosts.

For .NET Core there are binary packages [1] for Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, Red Hat and SUSE, so you can apt-get/rpm/yum hosting environment in a matter of minutes. I'd say it's easier to set up and run ASP.NET Core app with Apache or nginx as reverse proxy than with IIS. For "old" .NET you are stuck with Mono [2] which works okay-ish if you don't use Windows-only dependencies.

I've been having great luck with ASP.NET core / nginx. Very stable, low overhead with 40k req/sec served in a ubuntu VM. I hate MVC, so I've been using Nancy (Sinatra based) as the web framework. I'm highly confident in .NET Core being production ready.
