I have a client in need of a host that can meet the following (preferably a shared hosting -- i.e. relatively inexpensive -- plan). Any recommendations are appreciated:

- MS IIS 5.0

- support for pages ASP 3.0

- FTP access for the upload of the files

- MS Access database support (with permission to read and write on the db)

- Scripting.FileSystemObject support for objects (with permission to read and write file on the web server via ASP)

- ASP components to manag images: ServerObjects ASPImage

- ASP to manage the upload: Persits ASPUpload o Infomentum Active File

- ASP components to manag mailinglist: Persits ASPEmail 4.5 + EmailAgent


Thanks

A few of those components are really unique. You may end up being forced to go to a shared hosting plan that will allow you to register custom COM object (The Infomentum one and the EmailAgent come to mind, unless you mean ASPUpload or Infomentum Active File). That'd probably cost you in the $50-$60/month range.

Solutionsite (www.solutionsite.com.au) may help you. They are a smaller win2k host. I have not had any expercence with them but hear they are good.

Since I conveniently forgot to put the host I was referring to (d-oh!), try Sectorlink (www.sectorlink.com). They have most of what you're after, and can install what they don't have for you. The only thing is that they do disable certain ASPUpload features (such as file moving and deletion) so you will have to use FileSystemObject for that stuff (not that it's that big a deal to use, it's just kind of frustrating.)
