Hey I'm currently making a new site which will replace an old site for a club. the old one is hosted with Eircom.
I'm creating the website through visual studios 2005 so I'll be using a SQL server database.
Which hosting company would ye recommend with such a database? As the domain name is registered with go-daddy I'd like to use them if possible but I'm not sure if they can host it as I can't see much information on it.( I'm new to all this stuff which might explain this)
Cheers.
hmmm it requires a license, i used trojan for www.toolsdirect.ie, but i know that they just outsourced it to another hosting company, worked out about 500 euro a year i think but it wasnt too bad. host.ie i think was the company actually, happy with the service so didnt leave them.
I recommend Blacknight for Windows hosting, as I don't run any Windows servers in Cork yet. I'm not sure if they support SQL Server or not, you can read about their offerings here. Tell them Adam Beecher sent you for a 10% surcharge. :)
EDIT: Do yourself a favour, avoid GoDaddy like the plague. They may be cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Cheers Adam. They do it all right and a lad just told me of swhosting.ie also. Both do the job I'd say. Was sweating a bit when I saw the €500 mark mentioned by paul...phew!
Current domain registration runs out in may of next year so will look into other hosting companies after that maybe.
Now domains are a Beecher Networks speciality! :)
I have no problems with my domain. Zero email problems :pQuote:

(Not a direct experience, I have several customers that are with me specifically because of GoDaddy. I'm not cheap, but I don't treat my customer like shít either.)

Only use domain for email :DQuote:

If your email isn't worth that much to you then that's your lookout, but my view on it is has always been: why do business with a company with those policies and ideas for the sake of five bucks a year.Quote:
