Hi!
I want to host my ASP.net app along with a MS SQL Server database on Linode. Is this possible to do on your platform?

It's possible!
Microsoft has been embracing Linux more and more over the last few years. So, now we have both an official .NET implementation and open-source alternatives! You could deploy your own ASP.net app on a Linode by running the .NET Core. Microsoft has a pretty thorough guide for setting this up on an Ubuntu 16.04 server which could be adapted to work with a Linode (using Ubuntu 16.04, of course):

There are also notable open-source implementations of ASP.Net, like The Mono Project:
MS SQL Server 2017 is also compatible with both Windows and Linux.
