Need a reliable ASP.NET host for AbleCommerce
Hey there,
As the title says, I am going to be setting up a AbleCommerce website, and I need a high quality Windows VPS host. My main focus in on uptime, quality, reliability and speed. But at some point price will come into play as well.
The server requirements for AbleCommerce are as follows:
- Microsoft Windows 2000, preferably 2003 Server
- Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 or 6.0
- .NET Framework (Asp.Net 2.0)
- Microsoft AJAX Library 1.0
- Microsoft Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0
- Microsoft SQL Server 2000, preferably 2005
Besides these requirements, as with most e-commerce software I'm pretty sure AbleCommerce will be pretty server intensive (Its a pretty large script). It should also be noted that I have no experience with Windows hosting, so I need a managed VPS with good support staff.
Thanks for reading,
Brandon0

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I would not be opposed to using a high quality shared host. It just seems that for e-commerce websites a VPS is usually needed.

Well, that may be... But I'm going to be setting up a e-commerce website and I have always been told that you really want to have a VPS for security, reliability and performance issues. Not that you cant use a shared account, just that it is desirable for web stores to have a VPS. By the way, what shared host do you use for your clients?

I think that you'll find many shared hosts will support your application well. A good trick is to ask if and how they limit their application pool memory usage per plan type. You want a host that limits it (not overselling their servers) but has a plan that offers enough for your application to have good performance. A just starting off with lower traffic will need 100-150MB in .NET. A medium traffic site will be in the 175MB-225MB range, while a higher traffic site will be 300MB on up. After 350-400MB usage you've outgrown shared hosting and will be looking at a dedicated solution.
Ablecommerce has changed their installation and upgrade procedures on the latest version which makes it *much* more friendly to shared hosting.
Good luck!

Check with Cartikahosting with your requirements to see if they can work out something for you. Another vendor is Handynetworks. We have worked with both, and they're very good Windows hosting vendors
