Hi all,

I have a legacy client whose site is hosted on a Windows shared server space with [1and1.com](http://1and1.com). But the service and reliability at 1and1 is terrible (just had a 6+ hour outage today), and we’re looking to move them somewhere else. Anyone have any good recommendations? Current hosting costs are about $20 a month (there’s room to increase that, if need be), and the site needs ASP and an MSSQL db. Traffic requirements are very low.

I’m running a few sites on Windows machines with other hosts (GoDaddy, [http://www.integratelecom.com/](http://www.integratelecom.com/)), but, frankly, I haven’t been 100% thrilled with them, either. I’d much prefer something like MediaTemple, but with a Windows server.

Any help? Many thanks in advance.

I’ve been with LiquidWeb for over 7 years, and just recently had a reason to love them even more, but unfortunately they don’t offer anything in that price range, at least not for Windows (they’re more of a VPS/dedicated provider).

We’ve been with [FullControl Network](http://www.fullcontrol.net/) for like 10 years and I love them. But their cheapest is $59/mo.
