I am now hosted at one place that I don't really like... I have 4 separate sites they are all quite small and private so I would like to host them all in one plan , just adding 3 more hosted domains to the one that is given with the plan.

please reccomend me good trustworthy hosting... I really hate changing places but here I was promissed one thing and then when I paid and it  did not work the support just said SORRY

I would recommend Powerdnn.com.  They know DNN and that really makes a difference.  Customer service has been absolutely wonderful.   

Hi Julia

I am based in the UK and have a fantastic isp. RedFoxHosting.com
I tried some other so called DNN supporting hosts but the reality is that most are fixed to early versions and have no real DNN expertise.  I think DNN needs specialist hosting esp for shared environments.

RFH are small - high on technical people - low on salesmen - they do amazing "reseller" packages.
EG: 50 domains, 25 SQL 2005, switch between 1.1 and 2 on a domain basis, domain and database back up and more.
Cost: £25 per month. 8GB of space and 75 GB bandwidth.
Admin the whole lot though a very useable web interface (Helm)

Redfox provide fantastic online service, they know VB and are technically able to offer informed support.

I moved to RFH specifically to host DNN sites and now I am confident enough to move clients in to their own packages as they are perfect for small business / groups of websites.   

DNN on RedFoxHosting
I now have about 8 DNN 4.3x sites running on RFH.  EG: www.rsrnyc.co.uk They are as fast as most others and I have had no problems not of my own making.
That said there is an installation issue which is not really DNN or RFH but MS.  (Bet DNN fixes before MS)

Read this thread - which was actually started by RFH people when the issue was found. (Don't worry there is a solution - this is not a Godaddy scenario)

All my 4.3x sites are running with the event queue handler commented out in the  global.asax.vb.
This seems to have zero imact on any other functionality ?  (Be interested to know for sure anyone) 

My Install routine on RFH
Make database via Helm control panel.
Install DNN 4.03 via Helm and the local install files.
This is always a perfect setup.
Edit webconfig to point to SQL DB server name rather than IP
Run / install DNN4.03 for first time.
Put in new host and admin credentials
Close DNN
From here on in simply update as normal but make sure that the App_Code/Global.asax.vb has the eventqueue commented out.

I have a set of working source files (4.34) parked on RFH and would be happy to give any other RFH user ftp access.

RFH say that as soon as this issue is resolved DNN will simply install via Helm.

Am I worried that I have more and more clients on such a small ISP? Sometimes - then I look at how much faster I can work when I do not have to wait for an ISP to setup a db connection or make me a new ftp access.
The benefits totally mitigate the potential risk and anyway as it only takes me 5 minutes to shedule domain and DB backups for the week I and my clients are better "protected" now than before on a traditional expensive host.

Hope this helps

Ian
