Hi Brynn
Thanks for getting back to me.
The list is as follows:
Ability to use name servers with our domains (we are members of Nominet, but
don't have our own servers so our name servers are FHosts' name servers)
Unlimited domains - we resell web sites / mailboxes to end users
Unlimited sub-domains
Unlimited bandwidth
Unlimited web space
Unlimited standard POP3 mailboxes
Unlimited mail forwarders
Ability to add advanced mailboxes (ie anti-virus/anti-spam) - we currently
pay £10 per mailnox pa
Web stats - currently pay £15 per site pa
Classic ASP
PHP - but not essential
ASP.net - not essential as we haven't used this tech yet
JMail
ASPupload
FTP configurable access, ie we configure certain sites to only get to
certain areas of a site
SSL space (ASP, JMail, ASPupload, etc savvy) - currently pay £50 per 50MB pa
MySQL DB - currently pay £25 per 150MB pa (I think might be 300 MB now)
ASP to MySQL DB connectivity (although this is the reason we are moving
because of a change in policy)
Unlimited Access DBs
Would be keen to use SQL Server DBs, but they are too expensive of FHosts
DSN-less connections
Control Panel setup rather than sending requests to ISP tech
24/7 support
Wish list, but not essential
ZIP functionality server side
PDF creation server side
greater ASP timeouts
Apart from the additional service bits we pay £500 pa for this reseller
account.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi All
We've had a Fasthosts reseller account for quite a few years now and have
been relatively happy until now.
Unfortunately they've started to push out MySQL DBs (I think 4.2.x or 5)
that don't work very well with classic ASP and basically said you can
b*$£*"s if it don't work with your apps.
In which case, we do not wish to pander to the FHosts machine anymore and
are looking for a new host.
Bearing in mind what the Windows based FHosts reseller account can
provide,
can anybody suggest a better host?
Please note we were stung badly by 2 'from the attic' ISPs before so we
don't want to go down that route anymore.
Thanks

How many domains?
Do you resell to others or only need room for your multiple domains?
Do you only need IIS, ASP and MySql technologies?
Do you need a certain amount of emails for each domain?
I have done quite a bit of research on this topic ... please post what
things specifically you need ... I will watch this post and reply.
Granted I am to multiple dedicated servers now, but I still have a
pretty good idea of who fits who's needs and stay up to date because I
have plenty of friends that I am the go to guy when asking these sorts
of questions (( and I don't want anyone but my projects on my
servers )).
