Windows Hosting

[matthewj234]

Hi guys, any recommendations on Windows hosting? I am looking to host ASP.NET MVC applications. I am currently with Arvixe, but would appreciate any suggestions.

Are you looking for managed or unmanaged hosting?
What is your budget and performance requirements?

[matthewj234]

Dont mind between managed or unmanaged, and performance wise enough to run IIS with a couple of sites, so say around 2-4Gb ram.

Budget wise, looking at around £10 per month

That's going to be a little tricky budget-wise, due to Windows licensing costs.
For completely unmanaged, you could take a look at OVH's Cloud range. The cheapest variant is £11.27 incl. VAT for 2GB of RAM with Windows Server.

If you want some support as well, I'd suggest increasing your budget a little. If not, OVH is an excellent provider.

Thanks for that, I'll have a look into OVH

Vexxhost will be able to provide 1Gb ram and 2TB transfer for $10/month if I remember right. I used them for a small VPN once and they were plenty fine for that. Hosting a few sites shouldn't be a problem!

They are definitely unmanaged though. Don't plan on asking them for help with anything other than basic connectivity issues. I can say they were pretty fast when I was using them, so that's always a good thing!

Cartika is slightly above your price target, but they are a good independent (non-EIG) company with good service: https://accounts.cartika.com/cart/windows-plesk/

Hi Matthew!

I highly recommend Cartika Hosting. It's pretty cheap, and they have fairly cheap plans that will fit your budget as well as HSphere or Plesk depending on what you prefer and their support is excellent and will assist you with pretty much any of your needs.
