I have a client who is looking for a reasonably priced NT web host. Need to do a 50 MB SQL server and a decent amount of file space, 100 MB should be good.

I've got some ideas of who I'd like to go with, but also was wondering if there has been any experience with the following hosts:

http://www.aspwebhosting.com/

http://sitehosting.net/

http://www.mavweb.net/default.asp

http://www2.domaindlx.com/index.html

http://www.webtrader.net.au/

Any advise/experience is appreciated!

I can advise that WebTrader should probably be avoided, as they had a security breach a few months back that was rather detrimental to their servers and was embarrassingly publicised on newspapers.

I also noticed with webtrader.net.au that they offer 'unlimited' bandwidth. As we all know, there is no such thing and I'd be wary of any host that advertises it.

Best bet is to do a search of this site for the companies you listed and hopefully you'll find what you are looking for.

I just recieved a call from one of my customers saying their site was down. I called the host (sitehosting.net an Affinity company) and they said their server was corrupted and ALL the data from the site was lost permanently.

I guess the verbage on the Affinity.com website about their datacenter having 7terrabyte backup system is total BS.


I guess we will have to start from scratch now.....

I HIGHLY recommend thinking twice about using Sitehosting.net.

My .02 cents.

Katz I have worked with MatrixReseller and UplinkEarth. I have had positive experiences with both. UplinkEarth is a little cheaper and easier to work with but I just switched to MatrixReseller to get more power and I am very satisfied even though my costs have doubled.

are there no totally reputable host, or servers or resellers? sooner or later don't they understand that they might wind up needing some of the people they've ****ed and...or needs some help period. nobody needs to get all the money when you make big money off the deal anyway. but that might be one less opportunity for them later. this is handsoff. thanks for your help with the ip addresses, it gave me some more to go on.

I haven't heard of many of those hosts. Maybe do some research on these forums.

hello anybody can anyone tell me how to get to the anythingchat forum?

yeah i can do that. do you know some pretty good companies. i went to your web site do you do reselling or hosting? i am trying to do all of them you interested.

Maybe because the thread is from 2001 ;)
