    You should look at the install guides here https://community.rockrms.com/documentation Rock is an enterprise-class CRM and won't run well (if at all) on a $5/mo "Windows .net compatible" host. It needs real horsepower. By far, the most common place to host Rock is in MS Azure cloud.

    For VERY small orgs/installs, there's also a way to run Rock on the AWS free tier, detailed here https://community.rockrms.com/recipes/96/free-tier-aws-hosting-for-rockrms

    You cannot run Rock from a subdirectory/path of the webserver. It needs to "own" the hostname you give it, e.g. rock.yourchurch.org or whatever. To access it via localhost the start.aspx would have to be at the root of the webserver http://localhost/start.aspx). 

    That said, most often when we see this it's because someone is trying to ADD Rock to an existing webserver, which almost never works because they fail to understand that Rock needs a Windows/.NET/SQL Server stack on which to run, not your wordpress host. What hosting environment are you trying to install Rock on?
