Hosting a website

[Mint_Sauce]

I'm looking to host a company website, it's a medium sized site using asp. There's no shopping cart stuff, just courses and dates handled by a database. It's currently hosted on a windows server.

Would I need to keep it on a windows server and if so who's best/most reliable. It's a small company so hosting doesn't want to be excessively expensive (however much that might be)

Any suggestions?

How much bandwidth do you need?

Do you know what type of database the site uses (MySQL, Access, etc), and what sort of scripting language it uses? (ASP, PHP, Perl, etc) - Those will affect whether or not it needs Windows hosting

I would normally recommend www.ochostreview.co.uk but you may struggle to find any windows hosts on there.

Somehow I missed that

I believe Catalyst2 do decent Windows hosting

I have been with http://www.liquidsix.com/ for over a year now on a windows shared server without a problem. I would definately recommend them

Thank you all for the links!

I'll go through them and get this website up and running.

Yes it will need to be a Windows based host. You can get .ASP on Linux servers with a plugin but its not going to be anywhere near as good.
