    I realize that there are a number of reviews out there. I even use CNet when I am buying electronics. But I was hoping for actual experience from a CPian.

      I've been having serious problems with my current web hosting company, www.webserve.ca, so am looking to switch. Can anyone share their experience or recommendations, good, bad, even ugly, with web hosting companies?

        Hello Rome Singh, James Johnson (Mr .NET) and I have been using Accuwebhosting for over 2 years now. I also have a friend + the Trivandrum UG using their services - all 4 sites haven't had any problems so far. Not very expensive either. http://www.accuwebhosting.com[^] Nish

              Thanks Nishant, This was the kind of feedback I was hoping to get. How long the web hosting company has been used and whether there were difficulties or not. I should have put it into my question, as well as some other things, but I didn't want to create a survey. Rome

                i've had good experience with discountasp.net[^]. You can choose asp.net 1.1 or 2.0 in their control panel which has a whole range of features - especially usefull is it's facility to create IIS application roots!

                      I was about to sign up with Accu Web Hosting because their support staff was always online and answered my questions promptly. Since I had signed up with my current hosting company for two years and only five months have passed price was a factor. But I was about to start the transfer and found out that they do not support ".ca" domains :sigh: So the search is on again.

                        Sorry I checked back with them. I wanted to transfer my registration as well as my hosting. But they do not handle the registrations for ".ca". So I'll make the changes at my end and just move the hosting. The reason I choose them was - support was always and immediately available. This was big considering my current situation. - Price - web mail was available - and they also offered MS Access as one of their databases. For what I will be doing it's more than sufficient. Thanks, Rome

                            That's cool :-) Did you mention me by any chance? Not that they have any referral bonus or anything, but I've referred about 15 people to them so far and I was just wondering if they know about it.
