Question Where can I find a reliable web hosting company for hosting my web sites running XCENT web application software?
Answer There are a considerable number of hosts available for hosting your website. However, some hosts who might be very good at providing basic static web hosting services, might not be a good choice when it comes to more advanced hosting needs that are typically required when you start using interactive web applications on your site. This is especially true as your site grows and becomes more active. The differences between a host that can serve your needs for an interactive website become even more apparent and important as your site grows.

Therefore it is important to find a host that can provide you with the type of service that is important for running a web application on. A web application can only perform as well as the backend server(s) it is installed on. If your site is running on a server which is heavily over-subscribed and low on available resources, then the application cannot possibly perform as well as it should be desired. So we have put together a list of some hosts we can feel comfortable directly recommending due to our experience working directly with them and feedback from our other customers. This is by no means a comprehensive list of hosts that are capable of running our applications. It is just a small group of hosts we can comfortably recommend.

www.intermedia.net - use referal ID RES1982
Note: if using Intermedia.net, be sure to request a Win2003 based server for classic ASP support as their current hosting plans on Win2008 server do not provide continued support for many classic and currently support ASP platform components.

Along with some hosts we are comfortable recommending, there are a few that we have to caution against using due to known limitations we’ve seen with their hosting configuration. Many of these have specific caveats, so please read this list carefully if a host you are using is listed in this section.

www.godaddy.com - Because we like so many of the other services that GoDaddy does provide well, we are disappointed that we must caution against using GoDaddy for shared hosting with web applications due to their poor support for SQL Server installations. Their dedicated and virtual server offerings do not have this problem, but these are a different tier of services suitable only for those prepared to manage their own dedicated servers.

www.1and1.com – We cannot recommend at all due to lack of adequate component support for the ASP platform.
