I'm looking to learn ASP.NET better and thinking about helping my church
put together a website in order to do this. They need the help, I'd like
the training, so I'm thinking of going this route to solve their needs.
I'm wondering, though, if there are any hosts out there that do domain
hosting that support ASP.NET and database connectivity without charging
you an arm and a leg. And by database connectivity I don't mean Access,
but rather light SQL access. Maybe MySQL, maybe SQL Server with a limit on
space or something. Anyone have a suggestion?

Obviously my experience is a bit different from yours.
Can not comment on SSL and Logs but for the price they charge i got
everything i expected and even more.
When i had a trouble with my ASP.NET App (my stupidity) their staff was able
to pinpoint the problem and i got an answer within an hour.
Never had a problem with setup instructions and control panel.
It might not have OC-48 but again if i needed that bandwidth i would get a
dedicated server anyway.

news:7d******** *********@bigne ws4.bellsouth.n et... Another person's opinion about WebHost4Life -
I think their control panel is so-so:
- non-intuitive in a number of areas. If in doubt, look at "email
forwards". - their "canned stats" package is okay for what it is - "you get what we
SAY you can get". Raw logs? Hah.
- Web stats should be "private", i.e.- not accessible by the whole world.
Your WH4L site stats are wide-open to the anyone.
- According to their help desk, web sites are only updated once a day.
Shortly after I asked about this, mine started updating twice a day.
Certainly never going to get a real-time look and see if the site is
quiescent/nearly quiescent to do an update, etc.with the way it is now.
Site Options and Freebies
- Oops, guess whose "free shared SSL" doesn't work with ASP.Net??!!
- they charge for "Custom 404"
Getting Configured:
- the setup instructions they send you via email are wrong, wrong, wrong.
- the info on the FAQ about setting up for ftp file transfer is also
incorrect.
Support:
- open a ticket and keep polling the web site to see if they've DONE
anything. They don't notify you when a ticket has been worked.
- they close tickets without your verification that the problem has
ACTUALLY been fixed.
Been online for over a month with no problems with the site itself, but it
is not as responsive as content d/l'd from ReadyHosting.co m (probably
because of the difference between T-3 (WH4L) and OC-48 (ReadyHosting)
trunk connections... I'm thinking seriously about moving to ReadyHosting,
despite their being a little "pricier" (and the 2x differential they charge
between ASP.Net and ASP hosting...)

Hi,
I'm interested in registering my domain name but I'm not sure which company
I'll choose to host my site.
Is it possible to just register my name at one company (I was thinking of
www.whois.com) and then search for another company that'll host my site?
My main concern is reserving the name so I have exclusive rights to it.
Thanks,
