    I want to change my provider.. I'm on Webhost4life.com for $9 / month and I'm trying to delete comment on my blog (using BlogEngine1.6, maybe this is the choke point? or the SqlServerDB?) Anyway this is just too damn slow! 10 minutes to delete 25 post and it's not completed yet! What's going on? (curiously, and thanfully, displaying page is working snappily at the same time, how strange...) I want to migrate to another provider? any tips? I found this one which seems kind of interesting, I might go for the business plan... what do you think? http://www.hostgator.com/windows-hosting.shtml[^] [EDIT] Well.. in the end going with those guys: https://www.arvixe.com/[^] They seem good!

    I use DiisocuntAsp.Net[^] and SoftSys[^] though I shall be moving completely to SoftSys in the near future (cheaper and service is just as reliable).

        I also use DiscountASP.Net, and think they are one of the better hosting providers. The only thing I don't like is that they charge an extra $10/month for SQL Server. I've been thinking of trying out WinHost.com[^]. From what I hear, they use the same data center as DiscountASP.Net.

          [Moved to the Hosting forum] Have you looked at ServerBeach[^]? I've tried WEbHost4Life and found them painfully slow. ServerBeach is run by Peer1[^] (our hosters) and have consistently been at (or near) the top of the customer satisfaction.

              I use Rackspace and have to say it's by far the best hosting I've had so far. I too used WebHost4Life for a number of years, but their database servers were too painfully slow. GoDaddy was horrific (albeit that was a number of years ago now). For awhile I moved everything to PowerDNN (even though the sites I'm hosting aren't DNN) because they could make DNN sites fly. My sites were nice and fast there, but the bang for buck just wasn't great. Rackspace Cloud Sites is really, really good. Very configureable and I can even give my clients a 1-800 number for 24/7 support for things like email, website down etc. The only downside is cost. The cost is good for me, but I use it to host a bunch of sites. If it's just for one, the monthly cost will be too high. Cheers, Drew.

                  Hi, I'm looking at hosting solutions too - and these guys look ok on the site - are you still happy with them? Any issues? I'm needing SQL Server Db plus ASPX - are you using SQL Server? When they say 'unlimited' - do they mean that? Cheers

                    Yes, I'm happy with them. Sorry for the late reply, I am in the middle of a big inter-state move!

                      discountasp is mostly used, and reliable.
