I am creating a small website on Asp.net MVC and SQL server. After the development is over Client is now asking help for me to deploy the code. I don’t have any idea how to host this application in Production environment. Can anyone please list all requirements to me like
Buy Domain name like www.example.com
Do they need to buy SQL Server license as I use basic table and store procedure only
Do they have to buy windows OS? As this is very low budget website, could you please suggest the best cost effective option?
I have heard of hosting in Azure and other services are they cheaper? Do I have to buy SQL server license Azure?
The client is a startup company and the also don’t have any idea how to host a website.
For starters a shared asp.net web host will do
1.You can purchase shared hosting from many of the available hosting providers you can get a comprehensive list from - http://www.asp.net/hosting/home. Shared hosting is really cheap.You can get it for as low as 50 USD / year and you also get to create a SQL Server(usually providers have the latest version supported) DB for which you do not need a license.You could deploy your stored procedures,tables, views or use Entity framework .
2.Usually when you purchase shared hosting - the provider also takes care of registering a domain for you at a small fee
3.Once you get shared hosting , login with your credentials,you will see options in the Control panel to Deploy your website and you are ready to go.
If you anticipate heavy traffic on your website you could think of using Windows Azure later.

I keep finding blogs and articles that list Digital Ocean and Linode as having PaaS offerings for Node.js. This is bothering me because I've hosted apps on both Linode and Digital Ocean and although they do have one-click installs of Node.js or MongoDB stacks, You are still responsible as a developer for securing your infrastructure, managing it, upgrading it, etc.
Modulus is something i've been looking at that seems to be a truly PaaS platform for Node.js.
Am i misunderstanding the definition of PaaS or are all these blogs/articles talking about Digital Ocean and Linode having PaaS offerings for Node.js actually incorrect?
I align with your definition that VPS ≠ PaaS. Modulus has turned into Xervo. And Xervo has turned into dust. All the hip Node kids are with zeit now. This question is product related, not sure if this OK here on SO.
Digital Ocean is an IaaS (infrastructure as a service) which means that they offer you VMs (virtual machines) that you have to control (manage, update etc).
I read and article that they raised some money to offer PaaS offerings also.
PaaS is Platform as a service. Most notable may be Heroku which will run the app for you, but won't give you access to the underlying VM. Your headache is only the app and they manage the rest.
I can't say much about the individual offerings as one service may offer both PaaS and IaaS, but I hope I was clear about the difference.

Usually most of the web development companies provides different kind of services to their Clients that cater B2B and B2C Customers through Solutions
Some of the example services include
E-Commerce Applications
Educational Applications
Discussion Forums
Single Page Web Applications
Social Networking Sites
Content Management Systems etc.

When I create simple website in one.htmlfile, I know I'm able to easily put the code to free web hosting and just create my own website.
But I'm completely lost with php files. When using (even paid) web hosting service, does it provide you some kind of online version of database my php files can communicate with? How does this advanced-online hosting work?
Usually you will need paid hosting to be able to run PHP files and manage one or more MySQL databases (reasonably). Hosting isn't that expensive, though. If you just plan on having a little website for yourself, don't purchase the super duper package; upgrade to it once it would be necessary, which might be some years down the road.
Web hosts offer different kinds of support, but PHP and MySQL are fairly standard. Usually, everything will communicate with the same things, i.e. you will set up a MySQL database on your host and your PHP files will be coded such that they work with that database. Everything is on your web host, just like how HTML files can only reference files on your webserver (as opposed to your computer, which is not possible).

I want to write a web application that needs a websocket server.
I want to host this websocket server on some famous web hosting provider (such as 1&1 by example).
Which web hosting provider should I use?
If you want to use a websocket server which you can start and stop at will I would much rather recommend a cloud solution. It's cheap and lets you interact with the server directly, which is most likely impossible with more traditional hosting providers. I've only used Amazon Web Services and Google App Engine myself, they both have a free tier which you can use to build and test your websocket application. There are many more providers, also have a look at PaaS services like Nodejitsu. It all depends on what specific technologies you want to use I guess.
(note: AWS lets you SSH into your instance and you can use any platform/technology you want while GAE is web based and limited to Go, Java and Python. It doesn't mean AWS is better, again it depends on your case.)
You can use WebSockets for your .NET apps with GearHost at www.gearhost.com. It's free and gives you 100 free CloudSites and 100 free databases.

Can somebody point me to a resource that explains how to go about having 2+ IIS web server clustered (or Webfarm not sure what its called) ?
All I need is something basic, an overview how and where to start.
Can't seem to find anything...
This MSDN magazine article has a good overview of the technologies involved:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc500561.aspx
Microsoft have articles on TechNet about clustering IIS using Network Load Balancing. You can do this more simply than using special hardware load balancing.
For hardware load balancing you place a device in front of the web servers and it manages the load. Each device is different so you would want to check the manufacturers guides and compatibility.
You should also check that your application does not have problems with load balancing. The sticky session problem is just one problem you should find out more about.
http://www.iis.net/download/applicationrequestrouting
http://www.iis.net/download/webfarmframework
http://www.iis.net/download/webdeploy
What you're after is called Load Balancing.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/0baca8b1-73b9-4cd2-ab9c-654d88d05b4f.mspx?mfr=true
There's a very good book on the topic:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Windows-Clustering-Balancing-Osborne-Networking/dp/0072226226/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1219249588&sr=8-1
A couple of good articles for those who are looking nowadays for information about Server Farms - Load Balancing and Application Request Rooting that I found and wanted to share are these:
HTTP Load Balancing using Application Request Routing:
