I am currently with DiscountASP.net...and no, I have nothing bad to say about them.  Only problem is I need to add about 10GB of images, and they charge an extra $5 per 500MB per month, sooo, not gonna work.   I am looking for a good new host with all the .net 3.5 features you would want from any good asp.net host (not godaddy-ish!!)  I also need to make sure there is the ability to attach .mdf files to the sql server, restore from .bak files and backup the SQL database.  I also need to have a good control panel where it is easy to set directorys as applications, etc.  Something with unlimited disk space and a few free SQL servers would be nice. 

Anyone have some good suggestions for me?

Awesome!  Thanks!  Anyone have any preference between any of these? 

Hello,

What is your budget?

I assume the problem is not in the web hosting company or something like that. I assume the main problem is in the size of the web hosting account you have

Hi Rob,

I work at DiscountASP.NET.  I am assuming because you are planning on using 10gb of disk space and you are most likely going to be continuing to grow (I say this because you mention unlimited disk space), then the best thing for you to do would be to seek out a dedicated server solution, where you are the ONLY web site on the server utilizing the server resources.  A dedicated server is much more efficient for sites that consume large amounts of disk space. 

Good luck on your search. 

No, its actually just for photos for a webstore that are going to viewed only a few at a time.

I just dont get that much traffic where it is an issue if an image takes a second longer to load.  aplus.net is actually looking pretty good.  Anyone have any experience with them.   They have iis 6 and windows server 2000, but I really dont see any issues with that.  They seem to have good backend control and .net 3.5 sp1

 If you are happy with your current hosting provider and just looking for additional web storage space I would recomend

using CDN (Content Delivery Provider) like Softlayer (www.softlayer.com) or http://www.simplecdn.com/ . 

10GB storage will cost you about $7.50/mo + $0.039/mo per GB data transfer.

Ok, aplus.net is the worst host ever.  I am getting a refund.  Even the HTML email gets sent as a text email.  ASP.Net has to be activated and took almost 2 days, then when it was working finally, it still had issues.  No thanks.  I am trying Arvixe next.
