Web Hosting for Dot Net MVC app (1 Viewer)

[Steeler]

Arvixe blows chunks and I now hate them.

Can anyone recommend another hosting site for Dot Net MVC Web apps?

I'm the VP of sales for a "large" hosting company that does everything from VPS to AWS. Pm me and I will try to help.

What problems have you been having with Arvixe?  I've been using them for years without issue, so I'm a little concenered to hear you now hate them.

I have a very small website with minimal adsense "revenue"... for the most part arvixe has been fine.  However, my site has been down since 7/16/16!  Not even a friendly error message from the hosting company... just a blank page saying "service unavailable".  I've contact support by phone, live chat, service tickets via their website, and by email - the site is still down!  I pay them for one thing and they can't deliver.  They say it is the server farm I am on but they  (apparently) are incapable or unwilling to move my site to a server that actually serves Web pages.   I contacted billing asking for some sort of credits/refund - crickets.  I've contacted support through each of those avenues mentioned above each day for the last three days - site is still down - crickets as a response - WTF??

Yeah, That is unacceptable.  Having a website down since 7/16/16 is enough to cripple many businesses. 

I've only ever really used Godaddy and Arvixe for hosting.  I host my personal sites through Arvixe as they were a recommended site by someone that supports Windows servers pretty well.  The sites I manage through my employer have always been on Godaddy.  I can only tell you that my experience with Godaddy was hit or miss.  I had some sites on a shared hosting server and it sucked.  Slow, was down from time to time, etc.  As we grew I moved these sites to a dedicated server with Godaddy, and it has been awesome.  But of course it is a dedicated server where we pay $$$$$$$$$$ for it.  It better be awesome and never go down.

I'm on a share server now, and the performance was acceptable (when pages were being served).

The site doesn't generate enough  cash to warrant a dedicated server, but for grins how much is a dedicated server at go daddy?

Depends on your need.  For comparisons...

At Arvixe I have 4 sites on a shared hosting... Only one of them is anything more than static pages... None of them have high traffic.  I think I pay $10 / month average.

With Godaddy we have 5 sites on a dedicated server.  2 of them are e-commerce sites.  Much more traffic than what I have going on at Arvixe.  For the server, a hardware firewall (which we have full web access to), and 7 days backup retention we paid about $1700 for a year.
