ou812 -> RE: Windows based server hosting (6/26/2005 16:58:17) I like, use, and recommend parcom.net If you search in these forums you will find some others that folks recommend too.

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Windows based server hosting (6/26/2005 17:22:23) Are you looking for reseller hosting? What are your requirements? Space/BW/Price/Support etc

Spooky -> RE: Windows based server hosting (6/26/2005 17:35:37) Everyone will have an opinion on what a good host is - we use Appliedi.net for our windows hosting. As bobbyd mentions - it may depend on your needs

dcoffin -> RE: Windows based server hosting (7/14/2005 20:05:20) Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Sorry I didn't reply very quickly.. way too many projects at one time and this is one of them. I don't need a resellers account since I have one of those in the *nix flavor. This particular client (farwest.org) is spread out all over the western US and they need a windows based server because they want web conferencing which requires a somewhat high bandwidth. I'm barely familiar with windows hosting so I thought I would ask you folks who are.

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Windows based server hosting (7/14/2005 21:52:05) Windows hosting is more expensive than Unix hosting simply because of the licensing involved for the software. If you are picking a windows host simply because the site requires high bandwidth, I would think again. There are many other unix/linux hosts that can give you a far better deal.

dcoffin -> RE: Windows based server hosting (7/14/2005 22:06:21) It's because of the vendor that is offering the Web conferencing app. It's a Windows server app. If there are *nix alternatives I would appreciate knowing who offers those.

Reflect -> RE: Windows based server hosting (7/15/2005 9:28:33) Bear in mind if anything has to go to the system folder of the server most shared account hosts will deny your request. Your best bet would be a dedicated server or a co-lo (co located). Going from memory for a Windows server for this setup, when I researched it for a client of mine, I found around $99 US was the going rate for a stable server with a stable host that offered high bandwith sites. You'll definitely want to ensure you have enough allotted bandwidth. Some hosts will list unlimited but I would be wary as when things peak and push comes to shove most are not unlimited. Take care, Brian

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Windows based server hosting (7/15/2005 13:03:24) Do you know what the name of the app is and the requirements for it to run? You should be able to find a decent host that can provide you with enough bandwidth for $100-$150/mo. I would take a look at webhostingtalk.com and see if there are any specials right now. Be sure to ask if their server can support your software! Also, a Virtual Private Server might be another option for you. You basically share a server with 6-10 people and are given a guaranteed amount of server resources, and the ability to use all the ram/cpu if it is not being use.
