I'm looking to get started developing/reselling. I need a host that supports ASP, Access DB, has a fair amount of pre-existing goodies (file upload, mail component, ssl, etc.), and the option to upgrade to more space, bandwidth, SQL DB without being nickel-and-dimed to death.
I'd also like to be able to add domains without necessarily adding a new account.
I think I've narrowed my search down to flarehosting.com and dreamzsolutions.net, although I'm definitely open to suggestions. Does anyone have any opinions on either of these companies or suggestions on a good solution for me?
Thanks.

I am using dreamzsolutions since April 10th.
Overall, I am satisfied with their service:
- response time to support requests is acceptable;
- they usually give you the right answer first time (which is very important, believe me);
- their MSSQL server had some errors and I haven't new informations yet so you should ask them.
- they use Hosting Controller 4.1. which doesn't allow traffic control but you can setup Stats pages to see the http traffic.
They answered all my questions with a lot of details and the uptime since now is 100 %.
On a scale from 0 to 10 I should give them 8.5

I also am with dreamzsolutions.net...they had some downtime in the morning last week -- and of course, when the sites were down, I could not reach them (no phone, and their main site was unavailable....no one was on MSN)...within a short period of time from me noticing the sites were down (an hour) they returned.
Overall, I and my clients are pretty happy with Dreamzsolutions...but I think they could do a bit better with support (again, relating to the above downtime - when it wasn't working, I could not reach them -- they get points though because the problems were resolved quickly nonetheless.)
When they are online, Dreamz is very cool and helpful as mentioned before.
I had been considering hostek.com for windows hosting as well. They responded to my questions within 30 minutes on a Sunday ;-)
