I have used CrystalTech for a long time, they are one of the greatest windows host out there. What are you looking to use the host for?

hostgator.com best hosting with Cheap price

Regardless of cost, DiscountASP.NET is the best ASP.NET and MS SQl web host out there. DiscountASP.NET is innovative by being the first or one of the first Hosts to offer new features. I find CrystalTech to be too large for my tastes.

Some vendors I have worked with
- Handynetworks
- Cartikahosting

They're both really good. You cant go wrong with any. Make a search on board about them and see yourself

Hello,

I've not used them personally, but I've heard good things re cartikahosting.com and jodohost.com.

Hope this helps and good luck w/ your search!

Elberk, best for what? Best varies you need to be a little more specific. Every host regardless of platform has their advantages and disadvantages. Shared? Dedicated? ASP.NET? PHP? ColdFusion?

Hi Elberk80,

Specifically what type of hosting (VPS? Dedicated? Shared?) and features (ASP.NET, SQL Server, .NET, etc) are you looking for? I'm sure all providers have their strengths and weaknesses and its a matter of finding one that suits what you're looking for.

As many other hosting companies have stated, there is no "best" hosting company, it all depends on what you're looking for. There are a lot of hosting companies out there, but only a hand full of us provide our customer's the support that would be expected from a hosting company.

When comparing Microsoft hosts in a shared environment, one of the biggest things you need to know that is almost never made public is whether or not your site is in its own dedicated application pool or a shared application pool. If it's in its own dedicated pool, your site will end up having much less downtime than a site with a shared application pool. Also, see how much RAM and CPU is allocated to the application pool that your site would be hosted on, as many hosting companies limit this severely in order to fit more accounts per machine.

In addition, you should also take into account whether the host is operating their own data center or using space in another data center. A company with their own fully staffed data center is generally going to be able to resolve hardware issues faster than companies that have to go through a different non-accountable staff members from another company to hit a button on a server or swap out a drive.

Good luck in your search!

This is a pretty general question since you haven't really specified exactly what someone is the best at, so I'm guessing your looking for a pretty general answer.

For your basic shared hosting, I'm going to say DiscountASP.NET. Used a few of the windows hosts on the marketing, large and small, and just found the over all performance and response time better. Plus I don't think you can miss some of their banners running with the asp.netPRO and Visual Studio magazine awards the recently won. They seem to be pretty proud of those.

Dedicated, MaximumASP really. Just all round good reliability when I've used them.

Haven't really heard of a VPS done real well so I would be curious to see what people might say about that.

Elberk80,

You didnt specify whether you were looking at Dedicated servers, Virtual servers or Shared server. There are some free shared windows hosting available. Have a Google.

http://fluidhosting.com is a great windows provider. I've been with them for years.

I would not recommend a free provider...
