Need a new hosting site! Anyone have any recommendations?

 

The first week of full blown hosting my site with DiscountASP.NET has led to my site being down twice with no timeframe for recovery.  The current cause is that their tech support mapped all file extensions to the ASP.NET ISAPI DLL.  I inquired about the ability to map file extensions to the ASP.NET ISAPI DLL and specifically asked them NOT to do this.  I just wanted to know if it was possible.  So what do they do?  They go right ahead and map all registered file extensions to the ASP.NET ISAPI DLL.  ARGH!

I need to have the ability to host an ASP.NET 2.0 site.  Most of my friends host their sites at their houses so that they can have complete control.  That is not possible for me at the moment.  I'd like to know what others would recommend based on their hosting experiences.

No recomendations yet?

Please let us know if you find a good one I have been looking as well. There just doesn't seem to be a lot of good shared hosts anymore anywhere.

I can tell you one to avoid. catalog.com I used them for a long time. They used to be great. Then something happened and they really went downhill. The one time my website went out on Friday night and was down until monday morning because no one would come in to fix the server on the weekend.

Anyway I since moved to CIHost.com I like them. I have had some problem with their billing departments before and they are not up to the 2.0 framework yet. But they fully support the 1.1. The other problem they have is sql server. Not a lot of space there either.

You might look at seekdotnet.com.  I'm hosting there - wouldn't say the service is great by any stretch, but they do offer all the latest stuff (ASP.NET 2, SQL 2005, SPS, etc).
