    OK, so I have had it with godaddy. Can anyone recommend a web host ? We need a SQL Server database, ASP.NET 2.0, or 3.5 ( I don't think we care ), the ability to run HTTP Handlers on the host ( so probably IIS7 ), the ability to send email in code ( sounds odd, but GoDaddy has all sorts of restrictions ), and a mail server that we can also use in our program to send mail with attachments.

      Not sure about the email, but Arvixe meets all your other requirements, starting at $5.00/month ($7.00 if you want dedicated IP). See here: http://www.arvixe.com/asp_net_web_hosting.

      Best wishes, Hans

        I've been pretty happy with Site5, I don't know if they have the IIS support though. The one or two times there have been problems they have been really responsive and explained what was going on. //edit scratch that - they are all LAMP based, not much use for you Christian. :(

          I've been using Applied Innovations[^] for years and have been extremely happy with them. They're definitely geared to programmers and I've used all you mention and more. I have no doubt that you can find countless cheaper solutions than these guys, but if you're shopping for price I think you're going to get what you pay for. In my own experience the cheap solutions turned out to be prohibitively expensive in terms of time, hassle, frustration and Restraining Fist of Death. That said, I don't know if they've been vaccinated against ESD, so your experience might not be as positive as mine has been. :-D

                              If there is room in the budget I liked The Planet[^] the last time I launched an asp.net site for a client. It's been many moons since I've used them so, I can only hope that they are still running a tight ship.

                                Not sure what your budget is, but I've been very happy with Mosso[^] (now known as Rackspace Cloud Sites). It's not quite as flexible as a dedicated server, but still very powerful. And yes, it supports sending email via code. (If you decide to use them, please let me know if you'd be willing to use my referral code.)

                                        OK, so I have had it with godaddy. Can anyone recommend a web host ? We need a SQL Server database, ASP.NET 2.0, or 3.5 ( I don't think we care ), the ability to run HTTP Handlers on the host ( so probably IIS7 ), the ability to send email in code ( sounds odd, but GoDaddy has all sorts of restrictions ), and a mail server that we can also use in our program to send mail with attachments.

                                        http://www.austiger.com.au/site/index.cfm[^] - Highly recommended, I've used them for about six years without any issues.

                                          I've had good luck with WebHost4Life[^] It's fairy inexpensive and has 24/7 tech support to harass. I jumped ship from godaddy when I saw what the prices were if you went over your allotted bandwidth.
