How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?

I'm currently using shared hosting. I want more control over my IIS and also I need to run in full trust. There are a lot of options out there for Windows VPS hosting.

Which ones do you recommend is the best?

Some must haves

  • Has to have great support
  • Automatic hardware fail overs
  • Access through Remote Desktop (you would be amazed some don't offer this)
  • No limit on what I can install on it

  • I've asked similar question with more limited scope some time ago at serverfault but I didn't receive feedback I hoped for. – Jakub Šturc Jul 19 '10 at 10:01
  • Why the downvotes? Is this out of scope? Can someone elaborate?? – Wil Jul 19 '10 at 12:39
  • Please don't downvote without stating your reason. Should this perhaps be turned into a wiki question? – Arnold Zokas Jul 19 '10 at 14:56

    It's subjective, but IMO this question is way too broad to be in scope for this site. References: http://webmasters.stackexchange.com/faq http://meta.webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/104/is-a-question-about-web-hosts-appropriate (and other similar questions on Meta) – JasonBirch Jul 20 '10 at 04:44
  • You'll probably want to be more specific on which web hosts you have in mind. Maybe a more targeted question asking for input on how hosts compare on a certain subject. There are 1 billion hosting companies out there and everyone has Their Opinion™ – Shane Stillwell Jul 20 '10 at 12:44
  • There's a pattern you'll notice with "Recommend me (X)" questions. Also, as @Jakub pointed out: http://serverfault.com/questions/12655/cheap-vps or http://serverfault.com/questions/101341/cheap-vps-hosting http://serverfault.com/questions/808/who-is-your-favorite-vps-provider - obviously they're on a different site so nobody expects you to have found them, but it sets a precendence. – Mark Henderson Jul 21 '10 at 04:51
  • I was hoping people would recommend a number of hosts and then the crowd would help sort out which one is the best. – Donny V. Jul 21 '10 at 12:38

Maximum ASP is highly regarded.

I have had good experience with SoftSys Hosting. They have great pricing ($50/month for 2GB RAM and 2 CPU) and I have found the support and communications to be excellent. The only one of your requirements I am unsure whether or how they support is automatic hardware failover.

Although I've not personally used them, I hear that PowerVPS is quite good.

For future reference, for anyone looking at the answers, check out Burst.net. I have no affiliation with them but they offer GREAT prices on VPS and dedicated servers for Linux and Windows.

I have one of each and I can't complain, only give praise.

The new Amazon EC2 micro instances are the best Windows/Linux "VPS" servers in my opinion: http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2010/09/09/announcing-micro-instances-for-amazon-ec2/

Their price is around the same as a normal VPS but you get the complete Amazon backend structure. The downside is that the EC2 system has a learning curve and AWS support is not free (except the forums).
