How to find web hosting that meets my requirements?

I'm currently using shared hosting. I want more control over my IIS and also I need to run in full trust. There are a lot of options out there for Windows VPS hosting.

Which ones do you recommend is the best?

Some must haves

  • Has to have great support
  • Automatic hardware fail overs
  • Access through Remote Desktop (you would be amazed some don't offer this)
  • No limit on what I can install on it

  • I've asked similar question with more limited scope some time ago at serverfault but I didn't receive feedback I hoped for.

  • Please don't downvote without stating your reason. Should this perhaps be turned into a wiki question?

    It's subjective, but IMO this question is way too broad to be in scope for this site. References: webmasters.stackexchange.com/faq meta.webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/104/… (and other similar questions on Meta)

  • You'll probably want to be more specific on which web hosts you have in mind. Maybe a more targeted question asking for input on how hosts compare on a certain subject. There are 1 billion hosting companies out there and everyone has Their Opinion™

I have had good experience with SoftSys Hosting. They have great pricing ($50/month for 2GB RAM and 2 CPU) and I have found the support and communications to be excellent. The only one of your requirements I am unsure whether or how they support is automatic hardware failover.

Although I've not personally used them, I hear that PowerVPS is quite good.

The new Amazon EC2 micro instances are the best Windows/Linux "VPS" servers in my opinion: http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2010/09/09/announcing-micro-instances-for-amazon-ec2/

Their price is around the same as a normal VPS but you get the complete Amazon backend structure. The downside is that the EC2 system has a learning curve and AWS support is not free (except the forums).

For future reference, for anyone looking at the answers, check out Burst.net. I have no affiliation with them but they offer GREAT prices on VPS and dedicated servers for Linux and Windows.

I have one of each and I can't complain, only give praise.
