    Anyone had any experience with Host4Asp? Fixin to put a business site up and looking for hosts.

    I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

    It may seem silly, but I'd never use a host that uses "4" instead of "for" in their name like that. To me it seems like they couldn't spend the effort to think up a better name, and that effort would most likely extend to the rest of their work as well.

          Oh, and I think dreamhost.com is fantastic, although I've only used them for non-vps stuff. However, it's Linux only AFAIK. There's always the cloud... AWS or Azure, but it's not as cheap.

            Ended up going with WinHost...so far so good, easy setup and seems fairly quick. Fingers crossed!

                I am the webmaster for the Bowls Club I belong to. We have had our site hosted on UKHost4U for over 5 years now. It was in its infancy when we first joined, but things are very easy now. Their Query Desk is very good and very responsive. They have good knowledgeable people who respond quickly. I can update the data tables directly using MS SQL Server Management - very useful when entering the next year's set of matches. It is easy to install code for the website. I can also create different directories to get new code tested by members. I presume most good sites offer this but as I say, I am very happy with UKHost4U.

                  4 years later... how has it been, or how was it? I'm looking for a new host now. It still looks like a good pick based on their site vs. others. Tnx.

                    Still with them, just upgraded to the max option and added an SSL cert. Had a small problem with setting up the SSL and submitted a ticket, they got back to me within the hour. I would still highly recommend them!
