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.
View 3 RepliesI have two servers which both run (very) large databases. To put that into context, one has about 40,000,000 database entries whilst the other has around 100,000,000.
These both currently run on 250GB SATA-II's. I'm considering adding a 147GB SA-SCSI 15k in replace for the 250GB SATA-II's for the live databases.
Would this be beneficial? I've no experience with faster speeded HDD's - especially on servers.
Reason I ask is I have some web applications which access these databases and can often take a while (minutes) to look up data.
what 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.
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 need a hosting with .net 3.5 support. Prefer 1G MS sql server space. traffic 10-20G is ok. need a stable hosting with good & capable technical support.
anyone can recommend one? I plan to use discountasp, but their sql is too small, 500M only.
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 have a customer who wants to sell access to videos of conferences he runs.
Each flv vid is approx 1 - 1 1/2 hors long approx 380MB each and there will be about 12 videos per conference.
approx 4 - 8 conferences per year.
My customer suggests 10 - 20 people will buy access to watch each video.
Access to watch the videos will be through a password protected webpage.
issue - the current site hosting company only allow uploads up to 150MB per file.
Can I host the flash videos elsewhere and deliver them through the password protected web page without anyone else being able to see them via server they are hosted on?
This would also reduce the bandwidth going through his current site server.
I would like to have around 100 Gb with room to expand if possible.
This will be hosting for a radio station, archival material.
I am unsure of where to look, the sites I have seen are pretty small in scale as far as capacity.
Further, I would also like to be able to re-sell this, instead of just setting up a straight account.
Further if at all possible I would like to bundled with some other small hosting packages (wordpress sites) on a reselling basis.
I would like to find a host with good quality & uptime that has large disk capacity for hosting IMAP email, about 10 to 20 gigs in size per domain.
I know of places like Bluehost and powweb but I'm not crazy about the 'overselling' issues related to them....
Any Ideas?
I have a customer who needs to move her existing hosting to another provider. The one thing she likes about the existing provider, however, is an allowance of Email attachments of 50-75MB in size. Most limit you to 10-20MB. Does anyone know of a hosting provider that would accomodate this?
View 6 Replies View Relatedon good hosting setups for getting large amounts of disk space.
I would like to be able to offer up to 2Gb storage space for 100s, maybe up to a few 1000 users - any solution should scale well. The files would be static files that might be up to 400Mb in size.
It would be nice to be able to give users FTP access to their disk space, although it's not a core requirement.
My company is going to launch four online retail site and in need for a dedicated server service provider that can provide us with room to grow from minimal traffic to possibly 2-5k traffic an hour.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a 1u server that I'm looking to colo. I looked around the forums but I can't seem to find exactly what I need.
I'd prefer if the hosting company was large, owned its own datacenter (as opposed to leasing), offered proactive (automated) monitoring services, remote reboot, and a superb network with little or no downtime.
I like liquidweb but it looks like they only have 500gb / month up and down or a dedicated line capped at 10mbps line. I need something in between, around 1000GB / month up and down with 100mbps port. Support doesn't really matter, nor does price.
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 planning on starting a new project and am curious as to if there would be an issue with hosting the websites (IIS) and the MSSQL Databases on the same server?
Basically housing all of the websites and SQL DBs on the same server?
Is this going to cause major problems? I originally thought that I should house the DBs separate but am starting to think that we can house the web and dbs on the same machine but I wanted to get some advice from other that know more about Windows then I.
I have around 5 servers each running an instance of MSSQL. Four of them hold small databases (largest is 4GB) and all fairly active (I was monitoring the largest for around a minute with SQL Profiler and it used about 2000 rows).
The largest server is used as a central database for logs for the above four servers.
This server runs across 4 * 15k drives in RAID10, but the RAM is a huge bottleneck (64bit OS, 32bit MSSQL). I also watched this server for around a minute in SQL Profiler and saw around 2000 rows being used again.
Now I'm looking to centralise everything into a single instance of MSSQL. I can't afford for MSSQL to be slow, but it will be housing 7 databases (3 'main' databases, 3 log databases, 1 misc. database).
I'm looking at this:
- 2 * Quad Core Xeon 5405 - 2.00GHz (Harpertown)
- 12GB RAM
- 250GB SATAII - Windows installation / Programs
- 250GB SATAII - Backup drive, MSSQL transaction logs
- 10 * 73GB SA-SCSI 10k (RAID10) - MSSQL instance, all databases here
I'm just wondering if anyone could hazard a guess if this would be sufficient? I've tried to explain things the best I can. I guess to summarise would be that there are a lot of read and writes that would happen if I conbined all the databases into a single instance.
I see that SQL Server Express said to be free but does that mean its free for commercial use? personal use? development use? I don't see any information.
Also I read on this board that some hosts offer this. Are they just using the free free version or something else?
what is the best way to connect to a MSSQL from a Centos box?

we are still having same problem on mssql, there are difference with 2 dedicated but we did not solved it yet. for example, you can see on first screenshot, there is some character errors while it getting datas on mssql server and we think that, it will cause problem and not showing totals but we did not have any problem on old server without characters problems

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'm building the infrastructure for a live event site.
I have specced 8 app servers but I'm still unsure with regards to MSSQL.
The site functionality makes a single write to the DB with no reads. A simple option would be to have a MSSQL DB instance on each of the APP servers and simply collate the information after the event.
I've also been looking at the mirroring function of 2005 as it would mean we could get away with two MSSQL servers instead of 8.
Has anyone used MSSQL 2005 Mirroring? Is it easy to setup and maintain? Any caveats?
How can my user use MSSQL management studio to restore the DB? Whenever my user try to browse for the db file, he can't browse to his own web folder due to permission error.
View 12 Replies View RelatedAt the moment our MSSQL defaults to backing up db's to C:/Windows/Temp. On some occasions it backups up to the sql backup folder. Any ideas where these settings exist in MSSQL Management Studio?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI can see lot of MSSQL Server attacks. In event viewer "Login failed for user 'sa'. [CLIENT: Some IP]"

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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI saw the suggestions to search around the site for good hosts, but it's really challenging to sort out the advertising vs real life experience and personal reviews.
Can anyone give some suggestions for a shared hosting service that can handle my needs for:
.Net 2.0
MSsql allowing remote databse connect
AJAX
about 12 domains
ability to allow several domains to work off the same database
prefer telephone tech support so I can call when things go down.
Tried Godaddy, but they don't allow remote connection to a database (good luck managing large projects)
Tried EasyCGI but not flexible enough
Tried Seekdotnet but even low traffic sites go down, they jumble which domains are connected to your ftp access (one time I had access to another clients html data), and take weeks or up to 'never' to fix hosting errors (fairly sure the errors were not due to the application.)
Heard about IXwebhosting but people don't seem to fond of them hear.
I'd really appreciate some honest input on reliable, reasonable, well supported windows hosting.
