Our database is on a server with 566 other databases. I wonder if this is a cause for inconsistency with the data set return times.

rabidgopher04;196964I'd recommend my host, Site5, but you are dependent upon Windows with the forum software you chose.


Yeah, I am not going back to PHP, lol. I liked it, but the opportunities with C# are important to me, hobby wise and professionally.

Nonstopdrivel;196954GoDaddy is not an option for a forum, as you well know.

I liked DreamHost when I was with them.


Do they do Windows hosting?

I don't know, to be honest.
I have always chosen Linux hosting as a matter of course.
I do remember they were dirt cheap and you got unlimited domains, plus one domain per year for free.

DreamHost is Linux only.

DiscountASP wants $5 a month for each database. So, for JUST PackersHome, it would be $15 +tax a month. You guys are cool an fun, but you're not worth that much to me. Sorry. ;)


I have to look into the other options closely.

Zero2Cool;1969511and1.com - 200MB database limit and we're near 500MB
GoDaddy.com - 200MB database limit and has more than 4,000 websites on a server
Arvixe.com - Inconsistent and unreliable customer service, if they even answer.

Must check these two out.

I bitched to Arvixe about the fact that my site had been all but unusable the past few days.
They finally investigated it and found out that another website on the server was abusing resources.
(No shit, Sherlock.)
They disabled the site and suddenly mine works again.

Tried WinHost through the night. Not much better. I'm going to see if I can just make my own CMS using YAF. We don't need DNN for anything other than GameDay Chat and I can easily code that into a page.

I received this today, several days after my cancellation had been confirmed by the sales.



Hello,

I do apologize for any delay, I can assure you we have been working on this server as there have been other issues as well, however at this time I am placing this in our server stability queue , so we may continue to check for any potential issues.

A customer service epic fail.
Placing it in their "server stability queue" probably meant they weren't going to do anything else to fix it, and were just going to admire the problem in the future.
[palm]

New host has been terrific so far, at least from my end.
Thanks, Z2C!
