anyone has any experience with hosting DNN with Mochahost? http://www.mochahost.com/

I don't need an expensive plan as my site will not have a high demand, at least for now

any feedback? Thanks

I have been working with PowerDNN for 2 years now, and altough their prices seems expensive to me, I stayed there because they all about DNN, iHost is too slow to me in terms of performance, so I haven't tried anything else, would you give me some feedback on Pros and Cons on PowerDNN?

 In my experience you really need a hosting provider that runs your site in its own app pool.
 Many of the low cost hosts simply put your site on a shared server running in the same app pool as many, many others. This means that you cannot stop or recycle IIS (so upgrades can get a bit fraught) and when another site uses a lot of memory / cpu cycles for some reason yours can slow down.
 
 Choose a hosting provider that is a proper ASP.Net host.  Many simply have the odd windows box amongst all the unix servers leading to bad or un-knowledgeable support.
 
 If you are looking for a UK host give RedFox Hosting a try. 
 In response to a few of us DNNers using them they introduced a semi-dedicated option - only a few sites per box so more resources. (Note this is not advertised - email them for more)
 You get a full Helm interface which even lets you set the .net version by site (not globally by account). You can also make access accounts for your clients.
 If I was in the US I would be hosting all my sites on PowerDNN as with asp.net website hosting you get what you pay for.

 IME: Its a false economy to look for the cheapest. DNN needs server resources.

 I've been over to http://www.3essentials.com to check out their prices and I came up with a question.

Under their DNN Business Plan, they use IIS 6.0 I'm working in Windows 7 with IIS 7. Would there be a problem if I create a DNN site at home with IIS 7 and then try to upload it to a host that uses II6?

There shouldn't be any problems moving from IIS7 to IIS6 afaik, though I have never tried myself. Just make sure they support .NET 3.5sp1 that way you can use DNN 5.2+
