i am finding a MSSQL 2005 server for one of my application for my client.
Actually, it is a small business program. It will not have a heavy load on the server.
Do any hosting packages company for that with reasonable price? It is not a website. It is a C# software application. So the port will not be 21 or some web port.
I`ve just got a new Windows 2003 Web Edition box and now I`m going to install a database server on that.
MSSQL 2005 license would costs 270$/mo for me, So thats not possible to use it because of its price.
I`m not sure if MSSQL Express 2005 or MSDE (which are free) can handle all requirements of ASP.NET programmers or not.
Is there any limitations for major scripts on those? or will those make any doubts for programmers?
Please share your experiences and suggestions.
* I`m going to install "Hosting Controller" on that box.
I am looking for a company to host a relatively simple data driven ASP.Net 3.5 website and a MS SQL 2005 database. There will be minimal traffic on the website as it is for a small business and also minimal media will need to be hosted. Features like Ajax should of course also be enabled.
Data security is of importance although as the developer of the site, I would like the flexibility of being able to configure the database (run scripts) through management studio remotely.
Email features will also eventually be required.
The company should ideally be based in the UK and decent support id (and when) the need arises.
Any recommendations? What sort of price range should I be looking at?
Most companies seem to support MySQL- but this is not flexible.
I would like a VPS account, but the problem for me is that my site is asp.net and has a MS SQL 2005 database. From the research I have done so far, it appears that only the shared hosting solutions provide a MS SQL database, and if I go with a VPS solution I have to own and install my own copy of MS SQL. Is this correct? Does anybody know of a VPS solution that would also provide me with a MS SQL 2005 database as well? I can't afford to pay $5000+ for MS SQL 2005 Standard Ed.

I need windows hosting with asp.net 2.0 + mssql server 2005 + ajaxtoolkit support for a website project that is being developed. It can probably be launched on shared hosting, but I would prefer at least a VPS. With any success this site would eventually need to be hosted on a dedicated server.
I have been offered a 1U Dell server for free with Windows Server 2003, Dual Xenon Processors, 2 GB ram and 2 x 80gb hard drives. It would probably serve the site well for a long time, but I would need to set it up (or get it setup $) for the above requirements and get it colocated somewhere. BTW, I'm not too familiar with Windows hosting.
To launch the site, I don't really want to spend more than $100 per month. And I'd prefer to stay in the $50 per month range if possible.
Open to any and all suggestions, comments, questions at this point? I've searched and see a lot of suggestions for shared hosting, but I'd really like your opinions on colocating the dedicated server.
I've got MSSQL 2005 Enterprise running on Windows 2003 Standard R2 x64. The server has 12GB RAM.
Now, I've been trying to find some way to monitor how much RAM MSSQL takes up, but found two conflicting things.
One source says that MSSQL 2005 Enterprise can only use up to 4GB RAM on Windows Standard R2 x64. Another says Microsoft changed this to 32GB for Windows Standard R2 x64 only (i.e. not x86).
Could anyone confirm either of these? I'd find out myself if I knew how I could see how much it's using (it only shows 90mb in taskmanager).
I have built a website based off of The Beer House template/book and am about ready to launch it. I need SQL server 2005, and ASP.net functionality. I will either use the included forum module or am considering a third party forum such as aspplayground.net.
I would like to spend $10-$20/month, I don't mind paying a bit extra to have a fast loading site, but I don't want to spend too much. I would appreciate any suggestions.
The database will handle the forums, the store, the users of course, and a custom database I am building for some vehicle information. To start out the database is not very big (maybe 20mb), but I expect it to grow to support the forums and users, etc.
Also, I have already built a database (mdf) file on my computer through visual studio 2008. Is it true most shared hosting accounts wont allow you the access to copy and paste the database file directly? I don't really want to have to recreate all these tables on the host server.
I have a sql server 2005 database which is 5gb. My current host only allows 2gb and charges and obscene amount for extra space. Does anyone know of an inexpensive host that I can put a 5gb database 2005 on? It doesn't need much bandwidth, it will just be for storage/archive purposes.
View 6 Replies View Relatedhow do you guys do the maintenance for shared hosting SQL 2000/2005? Do you just let the customers do the maintenance, compacting and optimizing themselves or do you scheduled a task to do that?
Till now I had let my clients do that. But some clients it seemed do not really know much about this. But if we were to compact or optimize all the databases by task scheduling, I am worried that it is something against their privacy.
recommend me about a good hosting provider for those requirements: Windows IIS hosting, support for .NET 2.0, MS SQL 2005 Database & ISAPI_Rewrite?
View 4 Replies View Relatedwhat level of hardware/hosting plan I need for one of my clients.
Current stats:
~65 ecommerce orders per week
~5000 unique visitors per day
Requirements:
Win2k3
ASP.NET 3.5
MSSQL 2005
My first recommendation to them was RackSpace due their good reputation, but they were not able to pay for the plan suggested to them by RackSpace.
My other question is what type of plan do you guys recommend based on the above stats/requirements (managed/VPS/dedicated/etc.)? VPS is what came to mind for me since we'll probably end up using this setup for more than one website/domain and since they are so price sensitive.
I'm fairly comfortable setting up and administering Win2k3 and MSSQL. I'm sure that plays into the choices a little.
I know there is probably some information I have left out that would help you guys make a recommendation. Please just let me know what else would help.
Does anyone know any shared hosting or semi-private VPS hosting for a site with large MS SQL2005 DB? Our DB is currently 1GB already but could get up to 5-10GB when all is said and done. The site is a B2B networking platform with many users, company profiles, products, etc.

I need europe based asp.net2.0 hosting with mssql, and approx. bandwidth and space 100Gigs-1000Gigs
multiple domains also price is <10$ ...
We were on shared hosting until we were asked to move off due to our database using a lot of the CPU - how much, we dont know.
Anyway, moved to a 1GB Hyper-V VPS, seems like we have one core of an E5420 but presume the server is shared between 12 people.
When our ASP application runs, the MSSQL server reaches 100% CPU and the website performs slower than the shared server we were on.
Where can we go from here? Seems like going from shared to a Dual/Quad Core Dedicated Server is a large jump and a massive jump in price.
What about a host with a high performance dedicated server for MSSQL shared between customers.
Any windows hosting provider with MSSQL database?
View 14 Replies View RelatedSince about 2002 I have constantly had my own co-located and then dedicated box. Before that, the only paid host I ever used was verio.net. Now that I sold off most of my sites, it is time to move to a smaller, shared hosting plan.
My question is can anyone suggest a good hosting plan? I do not need a lot of space or bandwidth, but I do require a few things:
- ASP.net 3.5 is a huge plus, but 2.0 is do-able
- At least one msSQL database
- Daily backups is also a huge plus. I don't need this second, but eventually I will want it.
- Good technical support is a must. I have dealt with to many companies even with my dedicated hosting that offered horrible tech support. A three day wait on a question is not acceptable. Phone support is a plus, but a 24 hour reply on an email is enough.
- ISAPI-Rewrite, or an equivalent is a must. I rewrite my URL's for SE rankings, as I believe everyone should, so the ability to host a rewrite script is a must. Though I use ISAPI-Rewrite, if their is an equivalent that is do-able.
- Need to be able to run at least (2) domains. My main company domain and then a second domain which is basically a landing page. In future I need a 3rd domain added, so ability to upgrade or add on a domain cheaply is a must too.
If you own a hosting company that matches this, or can suggest any please do so. If you suggest and they offer a referral program feel free to let me know your referral code as you obviously deserve the credit for suggesting the company.
I already have MSSQL 2005 on my server, one my the client requested us to install MSSQL express and they want to use the FOC version.
Can I run MSSQL server + MSSQL server express concurrently? Anybody can give me guidelines how to install it?
Do I need to uninstall MSSQL or it would be as easy as installing MSSQL express on top of MSSQL server.
I am in search of windows host supporting .net 2.0 and sql 2005 and atleast 2 domains (3 will be good). I need around 3 gb space and 20gb bandwidth is enough. My maximum I have checked the offers section and other posts here and below are the shortlisted hosts:
discountasp
eukhosts
appliedi
exabytes
Can someone who's using them give a suggestion/feedback or else can suggest one?
I am curious what "methods" Windows providers out there use to deploy Windows Server to Virtual Machines using Virtual Server 2005 when the machine is "remote" at a datacenter.

I have several gigs worth of data which my programmer wants to put into MS SQL 2005. But the last time I check, MS SQL comes in blocks of only a few MB (eg 200MB for $25).
Now if I have 10GB of data, that yould cost me like...thousands?).
One solution is to use mysql which is free of course, but the website is done in ASP.NET. How will this affect performance?
Also, is there any other way which I can purchase SQL 2005 myself? If yes, how much for one domain name?
I am using SQL 2005 Express Management Console in the CTP version, but when I upgrade to the release version, it can't login. Do I need to upgrade the SQL 2005 Express to Service Pack 2 first before it can login? Anyone facing similiar issues?
Secondly is there anyway I can upgrade from SQL 2005 Express to SQL 2005 Express Advance version?
Knowing that Port 1433 is one of the most attacked ports, I am thinking whether I should just change the default port of my new MS SQL 2005 installation, but issue is, what will be the disadvantages to users if I do so?

View 12 Replies View RelatedA client of mine took over a website and transferred it to a new server. It uses SQL Server 2005. It is coded in VB/asp.net and I have all of the web content but not the original vb source. I thought everything was working, but an important part of the site apparently uses databasemail and is hard coded to use a particular profile.
Sooo.. I setup Database Mail, enabled it, created a profile and mail account, tested it, etc and got it working just fine. However, the website is trying to use a particular profile name and I have no clue what it is. My client is unable to get in touch with the former owner of the site at this point either due to political reasons. Therefore, I am getting this error:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: profile name is not valid profile name is not valid at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior cmdBehavior, RunBehavior runBehavior, Boolean returnStream) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand.ExecuteNonQuery() at RER.signup.subAddContact() in C:UsersDusanVSWebCache....etc
I tried guessing obvious profile names. I tried running Network Monitor, but it can't capture the raw SQL queries due to it being a local SQL server. I looked into SQL Profiler, but I am running Workgroup Edition of SQL Server 2005 so it is not included. My next idea is to maybe place the database on a remote machine and have the website connect to it remotely so I can snoop the network traffic and maybe pick up the profile name. That is going to be a big pain however.
Does ANYONE have ANY suggestions on what else I can do to pull this profile name? Is there some way to trick SQL server into accepting a wildcard for a profile name or SOMETHING? It is such a minor issue and I feel like it should be a lot easier to solve than it has been!
I have never upgraded SQL 2005 express edition before thats why a bit worried. What is the safest way to upgrade it to Service Pack 1? Secondly the management console upgrade. Which to upgrade first the SQL or the SQL Express Management console?

I recently signed up with cartikahosting.com only to find out they do not support SQL server 2005 when I tried to install my application.

I bought Windows Vista Ultimate OEM and installed it on the physical machine, can I install Virtual Server 2005 and install the ultimate OEM version again on the VIRTUAL server 2005??
I run MySql but I hate to run it on the physical machine, want to run on a virtual machine.
We use VS 2005 and are happy with the stability and performance etc but wanted to know if there are any great advantages to using virtuozzo? It seems that a higher ratio of VPS per box can be achieved with virtuozzo due to the ability to share RAM but is this worth it for the extra cost of licenses and possible security / stability risks?
