    I confronted a problem now. I want to buy a web hosting for my company's site. It is written with Asp. The database is Access. Someone recommend me godaddy.com. But I don't know which kind of hosting should I choose. Who have ever used this site, could you give me some suggestion?

    For the love of God almight do not go with godaddy, they are oversold, and the support is terrible. (Plus it's in the works they may be sold soon)

    How much traffic are you pushing currently?


    Your best bet would be to go with an entry windows VPS, and scale up as needed.

    VPS and Dedicated give you the most advantage, I use a hostmonkey vps. Look them up! They are amazing!

    There is no reason to waste money and go with a dedicated if A. The client base is small B. It isn't in their budget.

    You will have to go with a Windows host because you require ASP and Access which only runs on Windows.

    You should use WINDOWS HOSTING PACKAGES for your company website. There are many hosting providers such as Hostgator, Dreamhost, Bluehost and so on . The price is from $4 to $20 per month that's reasonable. If you want, you also can save money by using coupon or promotion codes of hosting providers from 5% - 50% for first month or first year depending on your packages.

    Hope it help you :)

    Go for shared windows hosting plan if your current usage is minimum.

    Only upgrade to VPS when its needed.

    As TightSRV commented ,Godaddy seems to have bad reputation/reviews from many Web Hosting Review sites.
    I am also a member of a different internet marketing forum and the forum's review of GoDaddy web Hosting is not good. I am personally with Hostgator and have no problems. But many others should be ok. If you search Google you can get many reviews of web hosting companies.
