ASP.NET Hosting Gotchas?

The other day in this group someone wrote that one of the ASP.NET hosting
providers is "...not an enterprise server, so for example you can't cache
web pages..."

I'm wondering what "not an enterprise server" means, and what the
ramifications are - other than an inability to cache web pages. More
importantly, I'm wondering what other limitations on ASP.NET are enforced by
the providers - and how I can discover what those limitations are. I'd like
to think that I just sign up and get access to all features of the entire
..NET Framework. I'd hate to develop production-ready applications, only to
have them choke because the hosting provider disallows caching or some other
basic feature.

I'd appreciate any guidance on avoiding ASP.NET hosting limitations - what
to look for, etc..

There are literally thousands of ASP.NET hosts out there and they
(unfortunately) don't all list their packages in a way that you can easily
compare with another host.

The best thing to do is to read the specs. on the service and email them
with questions (like this one) before you sign up.

Hi, Anyone know of a good hosting company that offers both server-side Python and a subversion repository? I know of one: www.textdrive.com - they're a bit pricey, but I s'pose you gets what you pays for - they look good. Just FYI - right now I'm with sapphiresoft.co.uk. They're cheap and in my brief experience have been pretty good at responding to support

Hi everyone, I am new to PHP and I am trying to learn about using PHP to connect to a MySQL database using PEAR modules. My current web hosting provider compiles the PEAR modules into PHP so the code in many of the books I have been using will not work. So I have 3 questions: 1. Is my web hosting company doing something unusual? 2. Can anyone recommend a web hosting company that uses PHP5, MySQL and PEAR in a Linux environmnet?

I need some good hosting. I found www.webhost4life.com and I was been very happy because they give a lot of features very cheap. But I have read many bad things about this hosting, so I need some better, but not very expensive like http://www.hostinguk.net. I need some hosting with .NET 2.0, SQL Server 2000/2005/expres, Access, Unlimited bandwith and mutiple domains on one account. Which hosting is good for me? Thanks
