Windows Hosting For Software Developer
Jan 12, 2009
Our software development company has previously only written and supported Linux-based applications, but we're looking to move into the Windows realm as well.
We need quite a bit of control over the server via some control panel. We also need access to multiple MSSQL databases and the ability to create/destroy them via the web (we don't need a terrible amount of space for the databases, though); we will only be using the DB for testing/demoing software projects. We also need .NET support, preferably 3.5 but 2.0 at a minimum.
We are long-time users of Dreamhost, so something similar but with Windows servers would be perfect.

I'm a developer who needs to be able to demo sites and work in progress.
- Windows 2003 Standard (32 bit only)
- 1GB RAM (need to install MSDE)
- 60GB HDD
- Not for production or critical hosting
- No control panel
- Backups not needed
I'm in the UK but quite open to Europe as a location thanks to the diabolical customer service of UK companies in general - will trade performance/latency for service.
Must not require direct debit - I don't allow those. Prefer to pay per quarter via BACS.
Have already used both Fasthosts and 1&1; both of those are really targetted to bedroom developers rather than business.
Must not be a very small company e.g. one or two man company.
Open to a dedicated server, but really not necessary for what I need.

Ive been searching around recently for a webhost to setup my online development area. The following are my requirements, so if you could point me in the right direction i would be extremly grateful!
Windows Hosting (durr! at least 2 gig space/50 gig bw).
ASP.NET 2.0 & AJAX 1.0 (3.5 would be even better, but i can wait until it comes out of BETA).
SQL 2000/2005 (I will need upto 10 databases, but none of these stupid 100mb database limits. I would prefer if space as taken out of my web space.
ISAPI_REWRITE module (i like to make pretty urls!).
I would prefer UK based servers, but i'll make do with US.

I have a problem with Parallels Plesk v12.0
Hosting type on website became "No web hosting."
When I try to change hosting type to "Forwarding" it changes ok.
If I change hosting type to "Website hosting", I get message "The hosting type for "website name" was successfully changed.", but hosting plan still stay "No web hosting"....

My account just got nuked by Cari.net, some spammer abused one of my mail servers (I didnt pick this up.. sloppy) So they decided to cancel all my servers. My entire account. No warning.
One of my sites on the server is a social network with 100k+ members
Im sure I will get my account back, dealing with overseas support staff is a ***** tho
In the mean time, im looking for a new dedicated managed server host? Im willing to spend 150-250$ per server..
Im leaning towards,

I would like to compare what windows shared hosting is currently available to what I'm currently using as I'm getting charges for high bandwidth (20 gigs) for 40 websites which is not really high these days and I have to pay $1 every extra gig & its rising.
I don't want a VPS as I have tried them in the past and it is too much effort to set them up although I will use one in the future when I have the time to set one up properly. ALso with the ones I tried the memory couldn't cope and if I needed to get reasonable performance I would have had to pay a lot of $$$
My requirements are (all to be included in monthly price):
# must be unlimited or at least 50 domains can be hosted
# Offer Helm
# 50 gigs Bandwidth or more
# Clean host (no SEO banning or problems)
# Hosting Company Must not be a reseller - I want the real deal, proven & experienced host that has been around for at least 2 years. I will be doing a lot of research so please don't bother plugging your reseller business.
# I want at least 5 dedicated IP's with package
# Must offer AWStats with each domain
# Price: currently paying around $30 per month so something similar would be good

I am providing linux hosting for a while now, but want to expand my services to windows hosting as well.
I am looking to get a dedicated server, but could use some help in deciding what to chose.
What would be better for windows 2003 hosting? It would normally be used for asp.net pages, and people can use ms sql (but the free msde edition). There will also be mysql on the server.
What would be better, more ram or more cpu?
config 1: less cpu, more ram
Xeon QUAD-CORE Clovertown E5130 (4 times 1,6 Ghz)
8 GB ECC DDR2 ram
config 2: more cpu, less ram
Dual QuadCore 5310 8 times 1.6GHz Cores
4GB ECC DDR2 Ram
Also, I am looking at offering ajax for asp.net. Does this take a lot of resources on the server?
And what about running apps in isolated application pools for every user. Does this take a lot of server resources?

I am planning to move my hosting from SHARED to either VPS / Dedicated / Cloud Hosting(MOSSO) .
I am quite confused because:
1. I tried lunarpages VPS, they dont offer multiple MSSQL DB. THey offer only 1 and LIMITED to 1 GB.
2. Dedicated from lunarpages also has some limitations.
3. I heard something called as "cloud hosting" from mosso - Cloud sites, Cloud Files, Cloud servers.. I really dont understand what it means..
Can you please help?
I NEED:
1. Windows hosting - ASP, unlimited MSSQL DB and atleast 10GB space. The site will have atleast 100K visitors / month.

I am planning to place an order with hostnexus for a windows hosting. I saw them first on whreviews and got impressed by their professional site and quick response to my queries via email.
But can any existing or past customers share their opinions about their uptime, suppor or any other issues? Is it comparable to hostgator for linux?

a speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license...
whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers..
So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform
Windows... or Linux

I've been looking everywhere for a half decent, affordable, windows web hosting company. Everyone has CPanel/Linux, and I'm looking for Plesk + Windows. I'm gonna be buying a dedi soon that will run on windows, but I want some shared hosting too.
If you could refer me to some decent hosts, that would be great (and I hate oversellers)

I'm trying to find hosting that offers ASP, PHP, SQL and some kind of control panel (plesk or cPanel) and that accepts Paypal (credit card is okay but Paypal would make it 50% easier.)
Anything around $15/20 would do.

Webresellers has taken a bashing on wht but I don't see anything recent so I thought I would share my experience and see if anyone else has input on this company.
I signed up for a windows hosting account a couple of months ago and have been very happy with their service. Support has been fast and competent, no canned responses or 'what problem?' replies. Uptime has been good so far. They offer quite a decent package for cheap windows hosting.
The only negatives might be windows hosting issues more than hosting service issues.
1. Spam filtering is terrible.
2. They offer MSSQL and have an online interface. I forget who developed it but it's nothing like myphpadmin. Quite crippled actually but it will let you create tables. Again probably not the hosting company's fault. Even Microsoft's remote sql server tool has limited functionality.
3. FTP uploads are throttled but it's not a show stopper.
IMHO definately a contender for windows hosting. I've slowly converting my asp sites to php but until I get that done the sites seem to be safe at webresellers.net.
