I am in the process of planning to relaunch an ASP.NET site I've had for a while and wanted to share my thoughts about SmarterASP.net.
I'm not affiliated with any hosting company.
I’ve trialed HostGator and WinHost for ASP.NET shared hosting and they were alright and I've also used Arvixe and found HostGator to be more user friendly than both of these.
However, my recent experience with SmarterASP.net trumps the others I mentioned.
I trialed the ‘.net advance’ plan that cost me about $60.00 for 12 months.
The hosting GUI is the best I’ve used by far and mainly because it was intuitive, fast and provided features I’ve not seen before such as web connect for SQL that made it easy accessing/editing my database without using SQL server management software.
Importing databases, creating backups, editing files and permissions were much faster and their FTP speeds seemed better but I didn’t compare these. They also have an FTP browser extension I thought was pretty good which I used with Firefox.
Cheers!
