I know it's been asked are thousand times but this is what I'm looking for.

For my linux/php hosting needs I use bluehost.com who have been fantastic in my personal experience.

Apart from 1and1 who else would you recommend for windows/aspx needs?

I'm the 'bang for you buck' type of guy. So I'm not after the dirt cheap plan or the most expensive. Something in the middle which just works and is reliable.

I like to walk out of the shop knowing I got the best deal.

Thanks!

Zeequa what type of budget are you working with (more specific) than not real cheap but not real expensive? Do you have between 30-60/mo or is more around 100-120/mo?

any specifics that you require bandwidth usage, visitors per day etc.. any of those details can really help the community provide you with great insight.

Also, check the offers sections - you can find some great "walking out of the shop knowing you got the best deal" deals.

If you are looking for the $5-$10 range I would look for Windows Shared hosting. If you are looking at the $20-$60 I would look for a VPS.

You do make it hard to make recommendations without any details on what exactly you are looking to spend or what requirements you may have.

If a shared hosting package is what you are looking for I would look at WinHost. I've been using them for about a year now and have I found them to meet that "Bang For Your Buck" requirement

Apologies for the lack of details.

Windows Shared or VPS hosting between $10-$25 per month with Exchange mailbox for mobile email.

Alternatively I was looking at Exchange hosting with RackSpace or Intermedia then combining this with seperate Windows Hosting plan with another provider.

Cheers!

For hosted email decided to go with Rackspace and from the get go they have been flawless. Once I signed up it took only 1-2 hours for my account to be setup and fully operational.

Hosted Exchange with push email working as we speak to mobile device.

Live chat support is prompt and very helpful. Now I just need to find a decent Windows Host.

Cheers!

On behalf of all the committed "small" hosting companies out there, I'd just like to remind you that there are plenty of affordable options that aren't "big names." Support your small hosting businesses!

You can get affordable windows hosting package within $5 with ASP.NET support and SQL DBs too.

Look for the experienced windows hosting provider in the market with high reliability and cheaper prices.

Hi,

1&1 make sure you do your research before signing up with them as i've read mixed reviews about their windows hosting.

Do you Require MSSQL/Remote IIS ?

It seems to me happy-hosting maybe useful for you, the OP.
They provide Windows shared hosting as well as VPS deals at reasonable rates and their support is good.
