Hello,
I am a web application developer. I have built an online web application that allows users to make orders for printing material (business cards, post card etc) The website was build using ASP.NET 1.1 and SQL 2000. One of the steps in the ordering process is to upload a file to the server. I am doing this using File.SaveAs(). This process reads the file into a stream and then writes to the hard disk at the hosting site. Sometimes these files can reach 100MB in size and slow down the server, sometimes even cause the application pool to reset which in turns cuts all access to the site.
So currently the web site is with WEB.com (formerly interland), we are having too many problems with support from their hosting team. They even moved the website to a new server before we were ready to use the new site.
So today I am at the point where we need to move this website to a new hosting company until the new version of the site is ready to go live.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best windows hosting company in terms of support?

Your own VPS server with Windows OS. Check out offer forum with Windows and find something for you. Good luck!

Hello,
What are your hosting requirements like disk space, monthly traffic, sql server etc...
Regards

To handaman,
Not sure who'd be the best for support on windows, might be a good idea to search on forums to find reviews of windows companies since most people posting in the offers section are kinda biased to themselves!

My requirements are Uptime and telephone support.
I should also be allowed to have users upload files through the website.

jodohost.com ... great uptime, great support.

Any opinions on HostMySite.com VPS Servers. They have telephone numbers for support ;)

What domain do you host with these recommended providers? If you will like to keep it private, you can use the 'Report' button beside the post for verification by mods.

Any Windows hosting company should be able to charge you a small fee for a custom app pool, this is what you need to ask for when looking for a hosting company.

what is your budget/disk space/ and bandwidth requirements so we can give you better recommendations :)

Your application pool recycling and upload timeouts is all down to the limits enabled by your shared host provider. For many multiple daily 100MB uploads you probably should look for a VPS or more as already stated by others above.
So try a good VPS provider or find a shared host that is not at the lower end of costs and ask them if they can support your memory and disk space requirements.
Remember multiple 100MB + uploads are going to eat a fair amount of resources when they are all running.
I'm sure you can find many hosts that will meet your requirements at at reasonable cost if you specify your requirements to them.

If you're seriously considering HMS; given your application requirements I would suggest a 1 GB VPS at least - the 100 MB filesize on an ASPUpload script is worrying since that is saved in RAM before uploading.
