Thank you.

I'm using Winhost.COM both for an ASP.Net web application and I also host my clients databases on the SQL Server there. They have seemed to be very reliable and cost effective. Not sure how high-volume your application is going to be but maybe you should give them a look. I've been with them a couple of years now.

That does look interesting, thanks.

I've only had dealings with AWS Linux a few years ago. I created some VMs for testing and included some extra storage without realizing that it didn't come with the package. There was no indication that there were going to be extra charges until I got the bill at the end of the month. I complained, they kindly removed the extra charges, and I cancelled my account to make sure that I wouldn't get any more spurious charges. I don't know whether or not they have improved their software by now to tell you what you are doing is going to cost before it is too late.

I've been using AWS for both Tomcat/Linux and IIS/.Net web applications (haven't used the others).
Overall, the price is good (good enough that I haven't shopped around), and the access for the MS instances are pretty much standard to any remote access and configuration.
For me, the biggest learning curve was AWS terminology, understanding the startup and configuration, and setting the firewall/access rules. This was several years ago, and the tools for these things have become much better.
(I even used their AWS-SDK for Visual Studio to create some mass-AWS management for a client last winter. It was actually pretty easy.)
I would recommend at least trying the free tier for AWS. You get a no-cost tiny virtual machine that you can configure and install IIS and SQL Server, run your app, and see if you like it. As long as you don't have (relatively) heavy data IO, you should be able to test the whole thing and see if you like the service.
If you have any questions, I can try to walk you through the first few steps (the ones that are part of the learning curve)--after that, you should be able to take it on your own.

That would be excellent - thanks.
I will be taking my first baby steps in a couple of weeks.

It really depends on the scope of the whole project.
But if you're just a one or two person shop, I would start by trying to get your app working on Azure Websites[^] if you can. This is their PaaS. It has a ton of features and will likely continue to grow as this is their real "value-add" component.
In theory, both MS and AWS allow to rent & configure individual servers (IaaS), but this starts becoming a full-time job of just managing servers. And unless you're running lots of servers, it may not be more cost-efficient. So the PaaS will generally make your life easier.
AWS does not really have a Windows PaaS, you would have to use AppHarbor[^] for that cloud. I have never used AppHarbor, but they've been around for a few years, so I expect they can competently handle your requirements as well. Again, without having to manage and configure lots of individual machines.
Hopefully that's a rational starting point.

Has anybody ever "signed" an NDA with "Rocket Lawyer" ?
I've never heard of such a thing, and was wondering if anyone else has either.
(No URL, as I don't want to look like I'm posting Link Bait.)

Sorry, I'm not at liberty to disclose that.

Are you doing business with them or just trying to get some information or a document? I seem to recall using them for a document I needed a while back and don't remember having to sign anything.
[EDIT} Actually it may have been another site that has a similar service.

The NDA seems standard fare, nothing I haven't seen (and signed) ten time before.

I used them to create a document I needed and did not have to sign anything - except the (metaphorical) cheque.

I have been known to produce the occasional NDA.
It's amazing how many people will sign anything you put in front of them. Technically, I own quite a few first born children....

Nice. Wish I knew what the stenciled text meant.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Earlier today I was trying to find an old article that dealt with bitmaps in C, so to try to find it I entered the search term:
tag:c++ bitmap
and got a bunch of articles about bitmap manipulation, but they also included articles on java, c#, vb and ole, among others where the tag c++ wasn't in the list of tags displayed. Seemed incorrect to me, so I tried a simple test. I restricted the search categories to "Articles" in the categories checkbox list on the left side of the page and then:
Entering the term:
search
in the search dialog returned 2379 hits while entering the term:
search tag
returned 5685 hits and the term:
search AND tag
returned 312 hits.
The popup dialog that appears when you hover over the search dialog says that the default search term operator is AND but the results above says that the default operator is OR, don't you think?

This probably isn't the right place to ask this.
Try here: Sugs'n'Bugs Forum[^] - the admins read everything there, and they are very approachable and helpful.

I always find the CP search unsatisfactory.
|

I tend to use google to search the codeproject site instead, like this:
Whatever I want to find site:codeproject.com
But I could never get the search to work for the discussion section.

Perhaps it means "include all the results from the first term" AND "all the results from the second term" ...so you get everything added together.
English is a funny language.
In fact, going further, you could say "include all the results from the first term" OR "all the results from the second term" ...but not both sets.
Boolean logic and the English language are occasionally at odds with each other!

Just use google. You can narrow your searches to a particular site...

I thought you were posting a "let me google that for you." I am now deeply upset that you didn't do that.
