Hi,

I'm running my own vps at combell.com. Haven't had any real issues since I started my corporate site. I'd recommend it to anyone near Belgium. Great support, available 24/7. Not the cheapest though.

Have no real experience with their shared or reseller hosting plans, but I guess they're quite flexible when it comes to setting the required security permissions.

Extra note: I do not get paid for this, I only wanted to share this with our umbraco community!

Regards,
/Dirk

I asked this to the combell support and they don't support umbraco on their shared hosting ( full trust ). But vps is great

as far as I know, there's currently no Belgium based hosting company offering full or high trust in a shared asp.net hosting environment (I know for sure Hostbasket doesn't either)

I have used several shared packages at UltimaHosts and Umbraco (2.0, 3.0) runs just fine on these; the range of options and the capacity offered is quite amazing, considering the low price you pay for it

UltimaHosts is an Australian company I believe, with a datacenter in the US (ultimahosts.com) and one in the UK (ultimahosts.eu); the latter offers a much better connectivity to Europe (although slightly more expensive than the US version)

you can get a 3-day free trial account to check it out

if you want a cheap solution for Umbraco, you won't find better I think

Nice tip, and really, really much cheaper than combell.

Greetz,

While Ultima Hosts surelly are cheaper then many it's important to know that their service level isn't the best for their "Unlimited" packages. I've had some low-traffic sites there for 1.5 years and there have been numerous interuptions and timeouts that they haven't been able to explain.

The worst comment I've ever heard from a hosting provider came from Ultima, when one of the persons I had recommended to them was unhappy with the downtimes, she got a reply regarding her website being business critical:

Quote:
...It does amaze me that you paid $120 a year for business critical sites. Not a good idea. So next time purchase something that matches your hosting needs. Freedom.Net is NOT for business hosting!
You have until May 23rd to find a more appropriate solution. ...


Kinda funny, this Hosting Plan now costs $199 a year and their "Enterprise" plan costs $299 a year, not that extreme big difference if you ask me... and both plans offer "100% Network Uptime Guarantee"...
