Right now I use brinkster for all of my hosting needs. They have some cool tools that allow me to alot of stuff online, plus live help, webmail... and all that good stuff. But they keep raising their prices, anyone have a suggestion for a good windows host that has the web interface tools that brinkster has? Just in case ya'll wonder who brinkster is www.brinkster.com I really like them but they are getting expensive.

www.ipowerweb.com is really good. $7 a month. Doesn't offer ASP. But offers PHP, mysql, message boards, shopping carts, chat room... a bunch of other stuff included. I use them all the time.

nah but thanks... I need ASP, and quite possibly .NET. Those are the only languages I know :( I know someone has some suggestions. I have reviewed many, but everyone is going to sound good throught their site. I was wondering for some first hand accounts or user experiences.

dr2.net is dirt cheap and really really good. I'd check them out if I were you.

I still can't see what you can do thru the interface, that you can't with CuteFtp/whatever...

with the exception of db queries... I think, this really isn't my end of the bus...

I've never needed an interface, so I guess I just don't understand.

I dont need one but it is extremly convenient to be able to
1. adjust my account

2. Run Queries

3. Add email addresses and aliases, Modify Emails

4. Check my bandwidth and statistics.

All online without having to contact support. Speaking of support they have live chat.

I want the copy of CuteFTP you have if you can so all of those except run queries. I am looking for something comparable in abilities maybe at a cheaper price.

It's in a couple diff interfaces, but all is possible except the database manager...

what host do you use Rev? Do they offer Windows hosting? I guess I may stay with brinkster for my current clients. But I will try some new one going forward I guess. I need to learn PHP so I can get really cheap hosting.

and they will barter for services, if they can...
