Hello,

I am currently looking at moving my site away from my current host due to some limitations and the lack of no widows hosting provided.

I just recently signed on with a windows hosting provider but not sure if I will be staying.  It's probably not them but my lack of knowledge moving away from linux hosting and the cpanel interface that I am used to.  So I am now looking to find a host that is a little more user friendly I guess.

Here are some things I would like to have with a new host:

1) I have 3 domain names currently and one website.  I would like to only have to pay for one hosting plan and point the other two domains to my primary domain.

2) I currently do not have my site setup with dnn.  Still learning and working on it.  I would like to go ahead and change host although my current site was done in dreamweaver.

3) I use my exchange 2007 server for email instead of pop accounts.  Would like to be able to continue this and have a backup mail server option available.  When I went with my current windows hosting provider this broke.  I have since switched my name servers back to the old.  Could not find any info on how to correct this using the windows host.

4) Setup and/or some form of support for dnn

5) An easy to use control panel that allows for more than just basic account settings.

I will only need a shared hosting plan.  I am currently thinking of powerdnn and 3essentials.  Anyone have any thoughts on the two or others considering what I am looking for? 

Thanks

I did finally figure this one out.  Incorrect dns entry on my part.
