hello,

i created a site with the dnn framework with sql server.

i wanted to ask how much doest it cost to host my site and are there recommended companies. my site has a forum module so it's not static.

thanks in advance,

TaLz

Yeah, I host my personal sites on webhost4life as well.  You can get a decent basic account for $9.95 that has everything you need.  They even have an automatic DNN installer available for you to use to help you with the process.

For many of my customers however I do not use webhost4life.  They are great for a lower traffic site, but any sort of shared hosting type solution is insufficient for a site with a high amount of usage and traffic.  For some of my middle scale customers I have used Semi-Dedicated (VPS) or Dedicated servers with MaximumASP (which I think dotnetnuke.com is hosted on), and they have been fantastic.  They have reasonable pricing and outstanding customer support, which is what sets them apart from many other hosting providers.  I use other tier 1 hosting providers for my larger clients.

I would be cautious about GoDaddy for a basic account.  From what I understand, they split their shared hosting boxes 8 ways from sunday.  They have limitted customer support and they do not allow enterprise manager access, which as a developer I consider a requirement.
