There are message boards and things like dotnetNuke for ASP.NET, but the selection is much more limited.

I have 1&1 Business Package even though I program in .NET exclusively because I don't care about doing it on my website. Windows/Linux is the same price now, but when I signed up Linux was cheaper.
DotNetNuke makes me want to choke myself (The company I work for uses it)

Out of the box it's a piece of shit... so much configuration, etc has to be done before it feels remotely usable.
