any hosts that fit my specific needs?
I don't need more than 5MB space and 50MB bandwidth a month.
I don't need email accounts, subdomains... none of that extra stuff.
My only two needs:
1. host must support ASP.NET 2.0
2. server must be FAST
do you guys know of a host like that that's free or up to $5 a month?
(if you're curious why, it's just a small demo website for my portfolio)

ASP, eh? Look for windows hosts, but they usually cost more money.
Good luck

Hello,
Any Windows Host will suit your needs. 5 MB of space is more then realistic for your budget (however you will definately get more)

that's good to hear! Now the question is- which host would you recommend? Server speed is a priority... I'm guessing I can't get that from free asp.net hosting.

Are you in need of any kind of database support (MS SQL / MySQL)? I'd recommend you to browse through some of the top pages of this Windows Hosting forum section as there are many recommended Windows Hosts & you can choose the one that best fits your requirements and budget.
Good luck!

I would have to agree. Make sure you choose a host which has been around at least 3 years. You can check their actual age via this link:

Actually, that just tells you the age of a website, not the company. For example, I was hosting in 2000 under a different site/domain than now. I would post the domain name but I don't know if its allowed.

Well if the company has been jumping around and changing its domain name then that should raise a few flags. Domain name age is a good indicator of stability and credibility.

Not if the company's focus changed over 10 years -- which would be expected in this industry. I don't think a company that's been hosting for 8 or 9 years is somehow disparaged because they changed their name at some point to reflect new and unforseen services during that time.
What are you going to do if VPS's become obsolete? I hope you change your name!
If posts like this keeps up I guess I will have to post my other site name as a direct response allowed by WHT rulesLast edited by Collabora; 08-01-2009 at 03:09 PM.

Hello,
I have also hosted under a different domain since 2001, K-Disk.net was born in October of 2007 as a reseller. In January 2009 Re-Launched it on a dedicated server. I then moved all customers from my old reseller account over to my new box. I then shut down the old domain.
So the Age of the domain is not always an indicator on how long the company has been around.

That would be the stupidest marketing decision of all time. Google ranks on domain name age etc. If a company starts to offer new products it will do it under a different brand - our domain name isn't ultimavps by the way and we have several brands for our different product lines.

Hi Keith --
Yes, especially if the old names point to the same site as the new name!

Gotta change the course of this. Forget the age of the company that's completely useless information, There are plenty of hosting companies that have been around since the dark ages that suck. Go to the site find the support phone number and call them. If they don't answer their phone, or you sit on hold, or you get crappy customer service, hang up the phone and go to the next host.
