.NET Core, or .NET as it is currently known, is a high-performance framework that is open-source and free. Being a product of cutting-edge technology, it is used to build novel and scalable cross-platform software applications that are robust and more effective. .NET has been the much-needed pet project of Microsoft. It has undergone many changes over the years, making each version of the framework immensely better than the previous one. Some of the most successful organisations in the world use this framework for their websites.

The following are some of the reasons why these business giants and national and international organisations adopt .NET to develop their websites:
1. High performance
.NET has a very high performance that has brought some of the best-designed results. This had made it a popular choice amongst companies.
2. Cross-platform feature
.NET is a cross-platform framework that allows you to build applications that can be used across various platforms. This increases the versatility of the apps, giving rise to wider accessibility and greater engagement.
3. Less coding
Owing to its cutting edge technology, .NET requires lesser code — this ensures that the developers can form the code-base easily and structure them without much hassle. When applications can be built with less coding, it takes lesser number of hours. The decrease in the time of app development means that you will save both time and money. Having lesser number of codes also makes the maintenance phase of software development easier.
4. Easy to maintain
Extrapolating the previously mentioned feature of .NET, that is, less coding, it can be inferred that maintaining the web application created using this framework is relatively easier. Once new developers get accustomed to the framework after the initial learning curve, they can maintain existing web applications built using .NET with ease and efficiency.
5. Cloud-Based
In this era, web application support that is cloud-based is highly coveted. Since .NET falls under this category, it offers many features that enable you to build websites that are not only scalable and cost-effective but also efficient in their functionality.
