.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / December 2007Anyone using webhost4life or .discountasp.net hosting???
I currently am using webhost4life.com for my asp.net websites. But, for some reason my website is totally down and I can't get someone to talk too. I've been on hold for 2 hours (disconnected 4 times). Any ideas? Also, anyone use www.discountasp.net hosting? What's your impression? Thanks! > I currently am using webhost4life.com for my asp.net websites.

I'll be completely honest, you get what you pay for. webhosting4life.com is cheap and you get crappy service and crappy support. If this is a mission critical web site, I'd highly recommend making the switch to a dedicated host. Hope that helps,  SignatureSean Anyone you recommend who is affordable? >> I currently am using webhost4life.com for my asp.net websites.

DNB > Anyone you recommend who is affordable? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >> >> Hope that helps, > Try godday.com. Oh, please don't. I've heard nothing but horror stories from people that have used them. For example, shutting down a website without warning because it was using more resources than GoDaddy allowed. That kind of service is completely unacceptable for anybody that is trying to run a business, even if it's a small one.

I concur - stay well away from GoDaddy... SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net > Anyone you recommend who is affordable? Unfortunately, I don't know of anybody. I'm actually in the same boat as you and I'm very much interested in finding a better host. Sorry I couldn't help more, SignatureSean > Anyone you recommend who is affordable? I use these: http://www.hostinguk.net Already have full support for ASP.NET 3.5 As has previously been mentioned in this thread, you (don't) get what you (don't) pay for... SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Hmmm i'd like to stay within the US if possible... Thanks though... >> Anyone you recommend who is affordable? > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > As has previously been mentioned in this thread, you (don't) get what you > (don't) pay for... > Hmmm i'd like to stay within the US if possible... LOL! It's a big ol' world, you know... :-) SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net I've had not too many issues with webhost4life during 3 years. But today their response was terrible (my website was totally down). I stayed on hold for a total of 2.5 hrs and NEVER got to speak to anyone. In fact it disconnected me 5 times. Their Live Chat sucked as well. Their online forum was very slow in responding with no fixes. I ended up fixing the issue myself. :( >> I currently am using webhost4life.com for my asp.net websites. But, for >> some reason my website is totally down and I can't get someone to talk [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Hope that helps, We are currently using DotNetPark (http://www.dotnetpark.com). They aren't exactly cutting edge (they lag in installing AJAX, SQL Server 2005, new frameworks, etc.). I don't use phone support, but emails are generally answered within 24 hours. Our site is never just "down", but I'm frequently unimpressed with the quality of their "answers". It's like they get it to work but don't want to tell me what the problem was or how they fixed it. I like to know those things. Anyway, we're looking at discountasp.net as well and would love to hear from anyone who has used them. >I currently am using webhost4life.com for my asp.net websites.

I have been happy with www.ixwebhosting.com they have 24/7 tech support, live chat. No problems so far, and have been with them for over a year. They are a little slow with upgrades, .Net 2.0 and SQL 2005 was availble around Sep/Oct. >I currently am using webhost4life.com for my asp.net websites.

You can't be serious... are you actually saying that they finally got round to supporting .NET 2 a couple of months ago, nearly two years after it was launched...? SignatureMark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net Hello Cirene - I've used discountasp.net for some of my sites and have had pretty good luck with them. They're inexpensive and seem to deliver solid performance. They're focused on the Microsoft platform and bring new versions/features onboard in a relatively timely, safe manner. I've had a couple of hiccups with them but they seem pretty responsive to email. I haven't needed to use the phone. They had a DoS attack last June - read more at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=dos+attack+discountasp.net. They are a $10/month which seems like a reasonable value. It all depends on what you (or your customer needs). SignatureBrian http://www.limbertech.com > I currently am using webhost4life.com for my asp.net websites. But, for > some reason my website is totally down and I can't get someone to talk too. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Thanks! Full Disclosure: I work for DiscountASP.NET. Since this post mentioned the DDoS attack in June 2007, I just wanted to let everyone know that we posted what happenned and what we did about it in our Community Forum at: http://community.discountasp.net/default.aspx?f=31&m=18216 In short, we deployed and continue to use the Prolexic DDoS Mitigation service which is an Enterprise class DDoS solution used by Fortune 500 companies, major news sites, huge ISPs and the like. I do not know of any host of like size that has made that kind of investment into their security infrastructure. Our hosting platform is much more protected than it has ever been. EggHeadCafe - .NET Developer Portal of Choice http://www.eggheadcafe.com I've also had excellent luck with CrystalTech for the last two years. I'm currently hosting a couple different sites there and recommended them to friends and clients who are happily using them as well. Good response time and excellent price.

I use discountasp.net and it's ok, you get web server and sql server instances, and performs ok. It's not the cheapest one (about 20 $ ASP .net + SQL Server DB) but it works (if you need a better service you can hire a virtual server).

I have been using http://www.infosaic.com for several years for shared hosting as well as a dedicated box. While no one is perfect, their support has been far better than others I have dealt with. They even include SQL 2005 Express with their basic plan and support .NET 3.0, DotNetNuke, etc. They are also very flexible with special requests.
