: ASP.NET, PHP, SQL Server, MySQL hosting provider for developer? Possible Duplicate: How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? I am looking to find a web hosting provider

We've been using Aspnix for our .Net playground and client staging for the past few years. It has all the features we need, and we can live with the occasional downtime as nothing is production. We use the Shared Personal at USD7.77 a month.

Since I can't comment, I'll just answer. I recommend GoDaddy, for /m you get a lot of capabilities that cover your needs. And ignoring it because you think the owner is a "pervert" just because he uses a sexual-ish marketing approach is childish. If it works it works...

I've used them for 5 years now, but have switched to dedicated servers from them 3 years ago. As far as how fast they upgrade, it's gonna be just about the same for any large host like them because they don't just support .NET or PHP they support both and much more on top of the frameworks so they have to be careful with upgrades.

If you're just gonna have a playground why don't you just run your projects on localhost? If you're on Windows 7 just setup IIS 7.5 add PHP, get SQL Server 2008 Express and MySql and you're all set for all you're playful needs.

(http://www.linode.com/ || www.vpslink.com/) + blog.ruski.co.za/page/Install-Mono-on-Ubuntu.aspx == WIN. Just note if your using vpslink you'll need to learn how to tweak apache memory settings down and if your using linode you need to reset the linux password via web interface which you wont notice unless you look around and look for it.

I'm a big fan of HostGator. It's simple, unlimited everything (so it seems) and they have bent over backward to accommodate special requests. And you can't go wrong at their prices, especially for a "playground" type site. I currently send all my non-enterprise level clients there. In fact, I'm in the process of moving several dev servers there because they offer all I need at a ridiculously low price.

If money was no object, I'd jump in a heartbeat to AISO.net. Not only is their virtualized solution amazing and immediate to reboot, but the service includes hourly snapshots....and is 100% on-site wind and solar powered. How cool is that?

I think that www.godaddy.com/hosting/web-hosting.aspx?ci=9009#details is a good source for what Godaddy is currently hosting. However, I am fairly certain that they do not allow for URL Rewrite. I know they didn't 2 months ago.

Also, GoDaddy just turned on .NET 4.0 and MVC 2 support. It usually takes them 8+ months after release for them to upgrade their servers. I also believe they are stilling running SQL Server 2005.

Also, any host running IIS7 should be able to support PHP as IIS7 and above support PHP (earlier versions could but I don't know).

Microsoft has a page about many of the hosters out there that support their technology. Checkout www.microsoft.com/web/hosting/home for an list of hosts and you an see how people reviewed all of them.
