I need a nt/2000 server (virtual/semi-dedicated) to host a small number of sites, I would need about 150mb space to start with. Don't want to pay for each domain, if possible.

5 of the sites use information from one ms-access database (dsn-less connection, not using ODBC), does anyone know a hosting plan that could do this.

I wouldn't need much bandwidth to start with, but would like a host that would be cheap enough for additional bandwidth.

I need a host that guarantees 99% uptime.

I can only afford £70 a month, would a host in the US be better in price?

i know a dedicated server would be better, does any one want to share?

Do any companies have any good semi-dedicated/dedicated hosting?

Additional services that I would like (not needed initially):

128BIT SSL Server
Custom 404 Error Pages
FrontPage 2000/02 Extensions
Mailing Lists

Companies looked at so far:

http://www.maximumasp.com - can't afford on my own
http://www.prohosters.com - not much info, ms-access??
http://www.datapacket.net - bad rep.
http://www.win2000hoster.com - bad rep.
http://www.vibus.net - no instant setup
http://www.webtapestry.co.uk - no instant setup


Thanks in advance for your help.

Well I dont know how they are now, but I knew a bunch of poeple who had dedicated and semidedicated servers at ProHosters and they were all having hours and hours of downtime. Unless they have changed I would stay far away from them.

I use NTWebhost - which I resell @ sysweb.co.uk

They offer every thing you've asked for.

And only cost £45.00 + vat

Uptime's good, supports good - max 20domains per server, but you can buy another server and get 40 domains total and so on.


Their address is http://www.ntwebhost.co.uk

Hope this helps

Aloha not sure about the others
heard nothing but great things about Maximumasp
I sent off a few emails and they were answered fast and to the point

Vibus is the best for Windows 2000 in the UK. I have an account with them and the support is excellent. :D
