[AccessD] Web site Hosting Companies

Mark,

My web site is on WebHost4Life and while I like them OK, I must say that the
initial response time is not the best.  The way they get such low prices is
hosting dozens or even hundreds of sites on a single box.  If you get a lot
of hits per day, then it might stay cached on their server and the response
time might be OK.  My site gets a few hits a week I would guess and does NOT
stay cached, and can take as long as 30 seconds or a minute to get loaded
and return the first page.  After it is loaded, then the response times seem
to be fine.

Hello Steve,

I have been looking at a few hosting companies, including webhost4life.

I am seeking a hosting solution for a project that will be SQL Server 2005 /
ASP.Net based.  and it will be used by three or four people 8 hours per day.
At certain times of the year, (Jan - March), there will be a surge of users,
maybe up to 20 or 30 per day.  We will be accepting payments, so it will be
a reasonably important part of my customers business.

Do you think that a shared server delivers sufficient performance?  I am
intrigued by acheiving hosting for such small sums of money, and if it
works, I would love to be able to tell my customer about how inexpensive it
it.  On the otherhand, if your experience is that it can be very slow, I
will avoid the shared hosting and go for some form of a dedicated box, even
if that is a virtual server.

Thanks for any advice you or anyone else may have

Mark
