Comparison of 2 Web Hosts
-
WinHost : 10.9 SmarterASP : 5.0 so not as dramatic difference as you noticed, but still significant.
Keep Calm and Carry On

This may be interesting if you are comparing / deciding upon which web host to use. I've had a miserable time finding one that is consistent. Long ago I used GoDaddy & invariably it would get into a state where it was inaccessible or so slow that it would be useless & people thought my site was down. I moved to SmarterAsp.net & they are extremely fast. However, their entire site has been DDOS'd two times in the past year or so. With an outage recently that left my site unavailable for over 24 hours. They also have a snippet at the bottom of their sales page[^] that states:
Quote:
99.9% Uptime Guarantee We'll credit you a MONTH's service for every hour of interrupted service.
I contacted them about it and they said, "Nope. We don't do that for DDOS attacks. It's in our SLA, read it." So I decided to move to WinHost However, their site is SUPER S-L-O-W -- and their control panel doesn't report as much good stuff. Super Slow? I created this little test & I would appreciate it if any of you would try it out on both sites then report values here. Here's the test that I run to compare SmarterASP.net to WinHost. 1) Load page which includes 5MB image. 2) measure time while page loads (get time before & after page load, compare milliseconds) Comparison Snapshots Check out the difference in load times: Loaded via SmarterASP.NET web site[^]. Loaded via WinHost web site[^]. Load Times SmarterASP.NET loaded it in 1.565 seconds WinHost loaded it in 13.615 seconds. 🤯🤯🤯 Possible Difference SmarterASP one is not doing HTTPS I moved the test under one of my sites hosted by SmarterASP which is also on HTTPS and ran it again: SmarterASP.net site with HTTPS[^] (image of results). Still extremely fast 0.952 seconds. Might You Try it For Me? Would you mind trying it and letting me know what you get for
First try:
WinHost: 10.387 seconds elapsed during load.
SmarterASP: 4.331 seconds elapsed during load.Second time load:
WinHost: 0.006 seconds elapsed during load.
SmarterASP: 0.008 seconds elapsed during load.Probably because the image has been cached locally.

The DDOS exception is not being willing to find a solution to me, charge a bit more and put your website behind a CDN

WinHost: 12.8 SmarterASP.net: 1.6 So, night and day. If you're still looking for a decent Windows-based hosting service, try an outfit called Liquid Six. They are just great.
