Best Web Hosting for the $$

Gregg, that does look interesting, the premium is the only one with .NET, sweet deal for $17/Month but there is no SQL Server. Also, the screenshot of the control panel says Under construction :) (not a good indication).
If youre in the east-coast US fine, anywhere else consider that the time-stamp on your emails may be off by a few hours, depending on thair email software. You should inquire about this.

Pretty good packages.

There are some good features included with those packages, however, a lot of them I will never use. And I am really looking for more MB for the $$$. And 50 MB just wont cut it. I have about 130 MB used at my current hosting company, and I dont even have any ASP stuff their. :)

An MS SQL Server is not important to me. MySQL is just fine. :)

I will check out the time zone differences. Thanks for the heads-up.
 
Well, lets compare the ASP.NET services..

At $10/month for webhost4life you get..
-$20 setup fee.
-ASP.NET
-150mb db size for Access, MySQL and MS SQL.
-150mb disk space
-A ton more features that digitalbiz doesnt have

At $17/month for digitalbiz (or $180 yearly) you get..
-No setup fee.
-ASP.NET
-1200mb disk space (which seems to include db size)
-Less features (including no MS SQL)

If disk space is really that important (what on earth youd need 1200mb for is beyond me) then I guess the choice is obvious. If you think that youll never use more then 300mb (150mb disk space and 150mb db size) then webhost4life may be a better choice, especially because its cheaper in the long run and offers MS SQL which you may decide to use.. not to mention many other features.
 
wyrd, I see your point. However, most of what I do with my web site requires me to store more on my web server than just informational web sites typicall do. So while I may not need 1200 MB, the MB/$$ is better than any I have seen.

As far as the DB goes, it doesnt matter to me so long as I have one. I could use Access for all I care. Performance is not really an issue (we wont get into MySQL vs Ms SSQL ;) ).

But thanks for your input. I will deffinatly keep all in mind while I am making my decisions.

:)
