ASP.NET Hosting Options

I'm not trying to start a "which language is better" argument here, so please don't go there. I typically use PHP for most of my web development (mostly because hosting is cheap), but for various reasons I'm looking to use ASP.NET for a couple new projects. But one of the major reasons I've stayed away from ASP.NET up until now is the ...

Grid Hosting for Windows

Are there any good grid-hosting companies out there that offer .NET stacks? Something like MediaTemple - which won't host the worlds fastest websites, but for the price is far better than "shared hosting". I've used Rackspace's Mosso, but it sucked - it never felt like a normal .NET stack (caching was odd, site recompilation was odd)....

How to affordably release a Web App

I am a broke college student. I have built a small web app in PHP5 and MySQL, and I already have a domain. What is an affordable way to get it online?

Favorite web host.

I've used many over the years like Media Temple gs, dreamhost, slicehost, and some others that I don't care to remember. But it's pretty hard to find a new host with search engines, because they normally give you those crappy affiliate driven reviews sites. Which host would you use for: Small personal websites with small traffic. Medi...

Directory Sizes on Remote Host

My hosting company does not provide an interface for me to see which folders are consuming the most amount of space so what I'm looking for is something that will show me the size of each folder within my main folder recursively, I don't know of anything on the Internet, and did a few searches however I came up with no results.

Do I need to leave gaps in a standard server rack?

We have a 42U rack which is getting a load of new 1U and 2U servers real soon. One of the guys here reckons that you need to leave a gap between the servers (of 1U) to aid cooling. Question is, do you? When looking around the datacenter, no-one else seems to be, and it also diminishes how much we can fit in. We're using Dell 1850 and...

Technical issues when switching to an unmanaged Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting provider?

I'm considering moving a number of small client sites to an unmanaged VPS hosting provider. I haven't decided which one yet, but my understanding is that they'll give me a base OS install (I'd prefer Debian or Ubuntu), an IP address, a root account, SSH, and that's about it.

How can I limit execution time for a Perl script in IIS?

This is a shared hosting environment. I control the server, but not necessarily the content.
