I'm looking for a Windows 2000 host that offers SQL server and ColdFusion; that will allow me to host about 5 web sites on one account.

I have found http://www.carolina.net/ that sounds too good to be true... But if something else doesn't come up I'll probably go with them. Most of the content on the web sites are for informative purposes only. Only one site uses high graphics, and streaming video.

Any suggestions welcome!

Tommy

I prefer SQL applications to Access... I think that its a higher-quality server for professional uses, and especially web stuff. Access is fine if your mucking around at home, but you dont wanna put something corporate on it.

FoxPro is also good, but web access is limited.

Access would be suitable for the application I'm looking for.

TEENCOMM--

Who do you host your site with (or do you host it)? And how
much is it to host 4-5 web sites?

I second that. Although I find Access it pretty nice as well. I would not store any really important in it, but it offers great SQL support and the truth is for webbased applications where one work disconnected - the ASP pages opens connection/do queries/close connection - you will find it handles much more users than you think. However, Access databases gets corrupted every now and then and also it is hard to maintain a database ( add columns etc ) for a live web application ( users locks the database ).
