Deep Dive into RavenDB webinars

Time to change a host

time to read 2 min | 247 words

For the last three years I had my site hosted on Mirshetet, and I couldn't be happier. I had zero headaches from the site, and when I called, I got really good people, who understood what I was talking about. Recently, however, I had a number of serious problems that resulted in unacceptable slow downs and the site being down. (This is disregarding my mistake with no renewing the domain). Just to clarify, I am getting response times from dasBlog in the order of minutes.

The final stroke was trying to go to my website during the DNRTV recording and finding that it was broken. I am currently looking for a new host. My setup is Cuyahoga and dasBlog, which means that I need a .Net (preferably 2.0, but not actually required) and a database server (I am currently running of Cuyahoga on MySQL database, but it is not a problem to change, thanks to NHibernate).

I am currently using roughly 350Mb of diskspace (a couple of MB in the database) and a bandwidth of about roughly 30Gb per month, which is fairly modest.

I have been recommended Reyox, anyone else that I should consider?

Oh, am if you have a good host and a promo code that would give a discount, I would love to hear about it (but I do not promise to do anything about it).

kpvleeuwen, I agree, unfortunately I don't have anyone to ask off the top of my head. Thanks, I fixed the headers.
