Hi there,
I'm newbie in web hosting "jungle" ;-)... I'd like to know what is your experience with web hosting provider, there are too many provider out there! and I don't know what is the best for my needs; please help me, this will be my first web site that I'll manage :D

I need a web hosting with these requirements:
- Silverlight 4;
- ASP .NET 4;
- WCF 4;
- .NET 4;
- SQL Server 2008 R2;
- a domain name (and will be wonderful to have some sub domain);
- no need e-mail.

OK, last but not less important thing... I'm a hobbyist then I haven't much money to spend in web hosting :'(. Let me know what are your advices.

Thanks for any help
Paolo

I would like to say that keep your domain registration and hosting separate to have full control on your domain.

Your best bet is to look at the Shared hosting offers section on these forums (http://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4).
Windows hosting doesn't come cheap though ;-)

OK thx for reply >__<... my budget is about 50 - 60 eur per year ;-), I don't know if it is not much for Windows Hosting... I eventually can port my application to Linux with mono...

I don't know too much about Windows so I can't say for sure if everything will be supported but check out Arvixe, they have Windows hosting pretty cheap. I've never had their Windows service but their Linux hosting is very good.

Hi,
today I have read many and many reviews about web hosting providers... arvixe.com and mochahost.com have very nice plans, I'll give a chance to arvixe.com for 1 year :D

It is better to go with monthly payment as you would have the chance to switch host if you are not satisfied with them and would free you from the hassle of asking refunds.

Good idea :D thx for advice >__<

You are welcome. Make sure you go through their reviews, contact them directly to see their response times and how they are handling their queries, by that I think you'll have a general idea about them. Good luck.
