Looking for Windows host, advice me.

    Reliability and uptime are of course prime requirements, but technically:

    5GB space for Database will be enough
    another 5GB in buffer.
    .NET framework (2.0 and above)
    MS SQL Server / MSDE
    Office 2003 (Optional)
    Silverlight
    (MS Access will be an advantage)

    Definitely not looking for a cheap solution. Need something that gives me peace of mind to run any kind of MS .NET we want to without a lots of restrictions, but does not necessarily break the bank.

    Let me know how much i am looking at, please point me to URLs/plans etc. I do not mind your affiliated links as far as the plan is suitable for me.

    Thanks for reading :)

    I use vpsland.com. I chose them after doing lot of research...mainly on cost. They are good.

    Better go for a dedicated server.
    Shared platform will not be good for you.

    Good luck

    umm not much idea how a dedicated Windows box looks like, if i get CLI or a GUI to manage stuff. Or if there is much things to manage at all, like a linux server ... otherwise i am in big trouble ;)

    Anyone comments on this http://www.aplus.net/hosting/windows/ ?

    Ah yes, i guess not much, i would look for something within $15 to $20 per month.
    So getting something dedicated within that is not possible i think. Even if i do get one, managing it entirely all by myself is a hassle.

    In my opinion, GoDaddy and ZNet sucks
    I will advise you to go with vpsland

    With that budget you can easily find a reliable host btw you can even expect for managed VPS if you slightly increase your budget, just in case.

    Try: futurehosting.com

    Ive been with them for a few months and ive just ordered a 2nd vps from them :D

    Seriously, they have great support and if you add a coupon to your order you cant beat the price either ;)

    You can try VPSLand, but just note, if you are going to use a lot of IO Disk Usage, your not going to get much. They won't break your bank either.

    EasyCGI is the industry leader for windows hosting, they have been in business for 10 years. It should be on your top list.
