I don't know for your respective countries, but here in Ireland the hosting situation is getting worst than ever :-( Almost every single company offer now a so called Windows solution which is based on Windows 2003(Yeah cool), PHP, Perl and MySQL (Ugly and not cool !) If you talk about support, this is a joke. After many valls, you discover that indeed they have 99 Linux guys and 1 dedicated Windows support person.
A shame ! Why can't we have in my country a decent and complete Windows 2003 -ASP.Net - SQL Server 2000 platform ?
To tell you a story about an hosting company (no name here, they're quite all the same). This peculiar one don't have a decent access to SQL Server using Enterprise Manager. Their answer is no, SQL Server si behind a Firewall, use our online web tool to manage your database.
OK fine but the tool sucks. No import/export. So next step, ok we give you an access for a dedicated access. OK fine, but it took me less than 2 minutes to discover that all permissions on my tables went wrong. Forget it ! Again I will have to look overseas to solve something I would expect to fix at home.
