Hi guys,

Could you please suggest a good LOW COST WINDOWS hosting has the following features:


GREAT UPTIME
Unlimited or at least 100 GB Bandwidth per month.
At least 10 GB Disk Space
Unlimited or at least 20 Microsoft SQL Server Databases. It must support Backup/Restore to help me move my websites and manually do backup, and it should allow me to connect via the Management Studio
At least 5 MySQL Databases
Unlimited or at least 20 domains and at least 20 websites (Multiple Websites support).
Supports at least 3 sub-domains per domain.
PLESK OR DotNetPanel (I think they call it now WebsitePanel)
All versions of ASP.NET, Silverlight and Microsoft AJAX Toolkit
Unlimited or at least 30 E-mail accounts per domain, every e-mail has at least 100 MB storage and supports forwarding
Good web-based E-mail


And I do not care about SSL, number of ftp accounts and Add-ons like forums, galleries, blogs.. etc.

I really love what MochaHost and DataPacket offers at very low cost, but they have very bad reviews.

DiscountASP.net is great but it is really very expensive for me.

GoDaddy is cool but I used it before for one day or two, when you create anything (Website, Database, Email Account.. etc) you have to wait for a while until it is created, the Control Panel is not good for me as a developer, I need PLESK or DotNetPanel. And I think it has bad reviews on the their hosting services too.

I tried 1&1 before for one day or two, they have a very awful control panel, and a very weird hack to make your multiple websites work (I had to create an ASP file to check the URL and then directs the user to a virtual folder!!!)

I am going to host legal cool corporate, personal and entertainment websites, everything is normal, licensed.. etc and websites are going popular, so I want a company to help me when I get more traffic on the future instead of just close my account without a notice to save bandwidth and pressure on their servers.

What's your budget offhand, so we know :)

Features are easily doable though.

In addition to getting few recommendations here, you can also run down through few pages of posts in this windows hosting section & prepare a list of hosts who match your requirements/budget.

Thanks to Softsys and ecloudhosting. I am confused, I want to pay as low as possible, let's say I can not pay more than 10 US dollars per month. In the mean time I pay only $4 per month, but I do not trust the company I am using, and the up-time is not good.

I looked at your features, it seems you offer great services, but you are expensive ($33 per month for softsys ultimate plan, and $20.0 for eCloud). If I can not get lower prices I may have to try eCloud if it has good reviews.

Thank you very much.

I believe that $20 is a reasonably good quotation ... According to your requirement (Multiple MSSQL DB's, 100 GIG Bandwidth, Host 20 sites... etc..) the above quotation is a reasonable quotation ...

Hi

For the budget you have you will find reseller hosting, however the better the budget you'll find more hosting companies.

What about premium features such as ASP components or IIS Manager? if you can think of any other requirements post them as this may effect your budget.

No, I do not care about IIS Remote Management (never used it) and ASP components, add-ons.. etc. I do not really care also about AdSense, Facebook, Yahoo advertising coupons.

You can use this link (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/hostquote.php) to request quote from hosting providers.

Good web-based E-mail IMO SmarterMail is an excellent choice for email service.
