I chose to buy my own boxes and colo because of too much pain with hosting companies.
One client that I support recently had a server compromised but as it was a leased box (not managed by them) they would not let us near it to rebuild! They also did not offer to do anything to actually help us get the services back up and running. They had no interest in the fact that the server was down. That company has now lost that client, who is now going to buy his own boxes and colo with me managing them.

I have been using EDTHosting.com for years. I have never had any problems. They offer inexpensive SQL Server options.

Superb, friendly support. Excellent control panel (that works). I've had several sites with them for years. Rarely a problem, and very fast, personal response if there is.

I'm impressed with these guys; they do a good job - or is it because my former host was so lame?

I'm using ASPNix[^] their web hosting is good. Price is also very good.

I would also recommend DiscountAsp.net.
I have been with them for more than 6 years and I haven't had any real issues (and when I did their customer service has always been great). To give you an idea I have 1 SQL Server database with them (over 420MB and still growing). The good thing is that you can access it from SQL Server Management Studio like if it was a local database. You can also backup (and restore) the database through their contol panel or their API (if you want to automate this process).
Regarding their webserver yes you can use .net 4.0

You should try Arvixe been with them for a while haven't had any problems. When I did have some minor issues, their support is superb.
Here are my reasons I signed up with them:
- Excellent Support Team
- Very economical. ASP.NET Personal starts at $5.00/month. Heck you can even use coupon code TOPHOST or MVCHOSTING to save 30%.
- Free .COM .NET etc domain for each hosting plan.
- Supports Classic ASP, ASP.NET 4, ASP.NET MVC, Silverlight Audio/Video Streaming.
- Unlimited bandwidth and diskspace.
- Unlimited MSSQL, MySQL, Access database. MSSQL 10GB size limit.
- Unlimited Email Accounts.
- User-friendly Control Panel (DotNetPanel).
Arvixe is the best ASP hosting for me hands down. If you don't believe me, then try any of their hosting and if your not satisfied with them then you can get your money back within 2 months no questions asked.

I've got a service program that runs, is stopped by the Service Control panel, appears to exit cleanly (at least that's what all my logs tell me), yet in the Event Viewer, there's an entry claiming the exe faulted! What gives? Any clues as to what would cause this? Are there any special build settings I need to use (It's a standard C++ app).
Should note that this is a 32 bit exe running on Windows 2003 Server (64 bit). When run on the 32 bit version it runs fine.

Do you want to deface them or stop others from defacing yours?

Hi,
I bought a vps for experimenting.
I want to run a c program as a separate process like apache (or a thread).
I have the basic setup and i use putty to maintain the server.
I dont have cpanel.
How to run a c program which will be listening in a free port?

I wasn't too sure where to put this - please suggest alternative locations (and chastise me if necessary!) if you haven't got a helpful answer... 
The company I work at is in the process of virtualising all their servers and is taking a snapshot of the live database server and wants to use this as an image for dev and test environments so that all they're all standardised. I'm currently going through the process of changing server names etc; does anyone who has experience of this have any pointers for things I'll need to check that I'm likely to have missed?
TIA

Ensure all service packs and updates are applied before taking the snapshot. If you don't this can come back and bite you much later on.

Cheers Pete - I think the live box is all up to date so hopefully that's taken care of, but I'll be having a check to make sure!
I was actually thinking more about any conflicts that could arise since I'm effectively using a duplicate of the live box (all the data servers are in the same subnet so are all visible to each other). I'm doing the obvious like changing SQL instance names, rebuilding maintenance plans that use SSIS, changing user credentials. Can you think of any others?

Test it, re test it then test it again and if possible put the dev stuff on a separate network.
If all else fails blame the sys admin, unless you're doing that role in which case blame your manager for not hiring a suitably qualified sys admin.

Should we assume from:
moon_stick wrote: changing server names etc
that you have also already looked at IP's - either changing IP's, or using isolated subnets? Or your Test / Dev environments are already partitioned on the network?
|
|
|
|

Use Set_parms command to change IP and hostname
change it to new value and reboot.
#set_params hostname
#set_params ip_address

I especially like the orange rubber walls - very soothing. The water bottles hanging inverted on the wall, along with the cedar shavings on the floor make it right homey in here. 
Is that alfalfa I smell?
