You need a company with intelligent tech support people, you need a company with correctly setup servers, you need the server to come loaded with all of the most popular 3rd party ASP components, and you need an online interface where you can manage things like permissions and your databases with ease.

Over the years I have used a lot of different hosting companies and I highly recommend 1and1 hosting.

I currently lease a dedicated windows server from 1and1 hosting for about $119.00 a month and have to say that it has been awesome. They also have very reasonably priced shared windows hosting plans which are great for running Active Server Pages and accessing databases. Their prices on bandwidth are insanely cheap and their network is super fast.

I honestly have NOTHING bad to say about this hosting company. I tell all my customers to use them because when my customers use a quality hosting company like 1and1 hosting it means less tech support issues for me.
