The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Good UK Windows/IIS Host

Asked by munchees in ISPs & Web Hosting, Web Hosting

Tags: fasthosts, url, isapi, windows

Hi all

I run a small (1 man!) web design agency that's part of a group of companies. We're now selling this company so I can concentrate fully on the IT needs of the group.

We currently host all our websites (around 50) on a Fasthosts reseller account, which costs us just under £60 per month. We'll be transferring this account to the new owners of the company when we sell, so we need a new home for the five group websites that I'll still be maintaining myself.

I've already googled for hosts, but the amount of crap that comes up makes it virtually impossible to find hosts to compare with my requirements :|

The new host MUST support the following:

UK based
Windows/IIS
ASP classic
SSI
ISAPI filters for URL rewriting
5 sites, with the scope to add a couple more if required
Around 10-15 additional domain names pointing to these sites
Decent amount of space and bandwidth (one site is an estate agent, so lots of images are uploaded & transferred)
SMTP servers (Fasthosts don't provide SMTP to anyone but their dial-up customers, ugh)
Costs around the same (no more, less would be good though) as our current £60/m

The following would be nice to have if possible:

Good tech support, not bothered as to whether it's phone/e-mail/IRC
ASP.NET support
Host that considers installing 3rd party components
MSSQL database support


Cheers,
Chris
