Reccommended Web hosting solution in the US (not really programming questions, but I do need help)...

Question

Hello,

I was asked to search for a US website hosting provider for one of my clients. The requirements are as follows:

1. Dedicated server (Licensed Windows Server 2003 Edition installed);
2. Shared database (Microsoft SQL Server 2005);
3. ASP.NET environment;
4. Dedicated IP address (to enable online payments);
5. SSL Certificate;
6. 24x7x365 Technical support;
7. Server backup;

Additionally, as my client’s site delivers high volume flash content, he is very concerned regarding bandwidth capabilities and server reliability.

I would appreciate your help and recommendations.

Answer 1

I don't know if this will satisfy all of your requirements, but I'm using Server Intellect for one of my projects and so far it's been really good. Their servers work really well and the customer support is very helpful and friendly.

If you use Amazon EC2 you can install whatever you want on the server. Also, check out MediaTemple.net
