gdboling Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I found a pretty good deal for ASP.NET Web Hosting here: http://www.digitalibiz.com/hosting/ComparePackages.asp I am considering the Premium package and was wondering if anyone new of any better deals than this one. Also, wanted to let everyone else know about this service in case it was the best deal out there. Thanks. Gregg Quote
*Experts* mutant Posted July 13, 2003 *Experts* Posted July 13, 2003 Interestnig package you found there, but you might have a look at this host too: http://www.webhost4life.com/ Pretty good packages. Quote
Moderators Robby Posted July 13, 2003 Moderators Posted July 13, 2003 Gregg, that does look interesting, the premium is the only one with .NET, sweet deal for $17/Month but there is no SQL Server. Also, the screenshot of the control panel says 'Under construction' :) (not a good indication). If you're in the east-coast US fine, anywhere else consider that the time-stamp on your emails may be off by a few hours, depending on thair email software. You should inquire about this.

There are some good features included with those packages, however, a lot of them I will never use. And I am really looking for more MB for the $$$. And 50 MB just won't cut it. I have about 130 MB used at my current hosting company, and I don't even have any ASP stuff their. :) Quote

An MS SQL Server is not important to me. MySQL is just fine. :) I will check out the time zone differences. Thanks for the heads-up. Quote
wyrd Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 Well, let's compare the ASP.NET services.. At $10/month for webhost4life you get.. -$20 setup fee. -ASP.NET -150mb db size for Access, MySQL and MS SQL. -150mb disk space -A ton more features that digitalbiz doesn't have At $17/month for digitalbiz (or $180 yearly) you get.. -No setup fee. -ASP.NET -1200mb disk space (which seems to include db size) -Less features (including no MS SQL) If disk space is really that important (what on earth you'd need 1200mb for is beyond me) then I guess the choice is obvious. If you think that you'll never use more then 300mb (150mb disk space and 150mb db size) then webhost4life may be a better choice, especially because it's cheaper in the long run and offers MS SQL which you may decide to use.. not to mention many other features.

gdboling Posted July 13, 2003 Author Posted July 13, 2003 wyrd, I see your point. However, most of what I do with my web site requires me to store more on my web server than just informational web sites typicall do. So while I may not need 1200 MB, the MB/$$ is better than any I have seen. As far as the DB goes, it doesn't matter to me so long as I have one. I could use Access for all I care. Performance is not really an issue (we won't get into MySQL vs Ms SSQL ;) ). But thanks for your input. I will deffinatly keep all in mind while I am making my decisions. :) Quote
