I know this should really be in the hosting section, but I wanted to focus it on the people in the .Net forum. Can someone recommend me a decent and reasonable asp.net host? Thanks

mtffafl · Jan 20, 2003, 23:23

I went with www.adehost.com
They're support is really good, but right now they seem to be rebooting a lot.

They're not the cheapest, but I can't say enough nice things about www.crystaltech.com. Every claim they make about their service is for real, and nobody has the kind of control panel funtionality for shared hosting accounts that they do (and it's .Net based at that). They're world class.

redemption · Jan 21, 2003, 07:53

Pretty obvious but www.brinkster.com ?

Jeremy W. · Jan 21, 2003, 08:14

www.adehost.com here as well. A lot of reboots, but aside from that the systems are 100% stable (hence the reboots) and secure. Mike's a great guy, if you email him (mike@adehost.com) you'll get a good deal

Ummm.. How is the control panel? I mean, the site is a huge usability nightmare - you have to jump though hoops eternal just to get to the page where you enter your credit car number! I'm currently with Tokios.com, but looking at both ADEHost and GearHost.

I've heard good things about these guys too, but if you need MSSQL it's $50 for the first plan. YowZA!

dhtmlgod · Jan 21, 2003, 09:25

I use HostingUK for work related sites, mainly because their support and stability is better than ADEHost which I use for personal sites, but have had some problems with.

It's HSPhere. I love HSphere. Best CP I've ever worked with

I use 7host. I haven't had any problems with them to date. Their support service is great. You get replies to queries within minutes. It's also very inexpensive.

[advisor edit: self promotion?! Come on, you've been here long enough to know that's a no-no... Now I've gotta go search through all your old posts

Self promotion is not allowed. Read the guidelines before posting again, or you will find you access cut off.

Mike · Mar 3, 2003, 00:03

Also, you've been at these forums long enough to know the guidelines, so ignorance is not a valid excuse this time.

khu19 · Mar 5, 2003, 10:32

Tokios looks like a pretty good deal. I still can't decide between ADE and TOKIOS, anyone have suggestions for which to go for? Big ingredient would be the MSSQL and PHP support would be cool. Still leaning toward Tokios, ade just looks unprofessional.

khu19 · Mar 5, 2003, 10:33

7hosts website isnt working, thats not a good sign for a hosting company.

khu19 · Mar 5, 2003, 17:51

well i just signed up for a tokios account and a new domain, hope to find some time with .net now

Self promotion?

M. Johansson · Mar 6, 2003, 01:19

I use Tokios, and find them to be pretty good. I've had some performance issues, but I can't really determine if that is due to tokios or me being crap at .NET!

Edit: I've also moved this to the hosting forums, with a redirect in the .NET forums..

mtffafl · Mar 14, 2003, 15:20

Adehost had a major server crash on Wednesday of last week. It is now a week and a half later and my database isn't back on track.

yeah, luckily, i hadn't switched my site(s) to SQL yet. they were still running off Access at the time. i did have to re-upload everything though. hope we don't see that anytime soon again.
