Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a good NT/2000 host. In addition to the usual (uptime, good support) some of the following are criteria:

-ASP
-ODBC/DSN
-Cybercash, or similar ecommerce
-some useful installed components (email)
-maybe WAP
-raw log files

I've been looking at Intermedia.net and Innerhost and some others. Can't seem to find one with all the features at a reasonable price.

Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks!

Matt

You could check out http://www.webexpose.net I do not personally host with them, but BC a moderator here hosts with them, and seems to be very very happy. :)

I should point out as a side note that nearly any host can be WAP-enabled, simply by adding the WAP format to the MIME types. If you e-mail a host's support (because you don't know how to do it yourself), they should be able to explain it or do it themselves. Only takes about 30 seconds.

BC- Thanks. Yes I am aware WAP is simply setup as a MIME type, however in NT/IIS MIME configuration actually needs to be done in the IIS Manager and is not a simple flat file one can edit (which it is in Apache I believe). It still takes all of 5 minutes, and yet Innerhost requires you choose their 3rd tier $80/mo. plan to get it!

Matt, yes, I forgot that side point. That note of mine was more as a general 'pointer'.
