Ask HN: Need help/advise on a good Windows virtual server hosting company/plan?
I need to host a ASP.NET web-app and am looking for a good Windows 2008 virtual server hosting company.
- moonlighter 15y agoHave you considered Amazon AWS? EC2 in particular? They offer Win2008 server images you have complete control over.
- ramiyer21a 15y agoI have considered AWS but am not sure about persistent storage. I use the disk to store some uploaded files. May be I should transition storing everything in the DB?
- PonyGumbo 15y agoI've used both ORCSWeb and Rackspace Cloud. I'm very happy with Rackspace Cloud so far (I've been there almost a year).
- ramiyer21a 15y agoThank you for the suggestions - Isn't Rackspace a little expensive - compared with AWS? Not looked at ORCSWeb yet.
- PonyGumbo 15y agoIt may very well be - I haven't looked at AWS pricing since their Win2k8 plans came online. ORCS has some high-profile supporters (Hanselman comes to mind), but I had a lot of downtime in the six months I used them.
