I have been using DNN since 2007 and for the mos part hve been happy with it.  For some reason My RSS feed has stopped working correctily.    Contact my present hosting company asking them to see what has gone wrong and they tell me it will be $85.00 per hour to find out what went wrong. 

I do not make changes to the website code use it to manage content.   the Website is http://lakeSuperiorNews.com.  

Any would with any recomendations for a hosting provide please contact us  Using the contact form on http://LakeSuperiorNews.com

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this message.

JP,

Depending on your hosting needs, and the overall demand of resources I have multiple recommendations.

For shared hosting plans, I recommend 3Essentials hosting. (Affiliate link available at mitchelsellers.com)

For VPS hosting plans, I recommend HostMySite.com

For Cloud Computing, I recommend Mosso (Referral code available at mitchelsellers.com in the forums and will get you $25 off of the second month

FOr dedicated hosting, I recommend RackSpace

I would reccomend the people at 3essentials as well. 

It took them sometime to fix some problem with our SQL log file sizes, but the support is excellent.

I would recommend that this decision should be made based on one's experience with DNN . If you are relatively new to DNN I would recommend PowerDNN shared hosting. Although they don't have forums yet, they have a knowledgebase, are very helpful with getting you set up y se hablan DNN. If you combine that with dnncreative tutorials and a Ventrian subscription, newer skin from a good developer, you are really off to much quicker liftoff with a DNN site.

Whatever you do, do NOT choose Godaddy to host a DNN site. Possible, yes, as guides and so forth point to here but not worth trying if your time and patience mean anything to you.

good luck,

Will

GoDaddy gets plenty of bashing and often for good reason.  I agree that GoDaddy is not a good choice if you're not experienced and comfortable with supporting your own DNN installations.
 
I have to respectfully disagree with Will's "whatever you do, do NOT choose GoDaddy" statement, though.  I've spun up multiple DNN sites on GoDaddy over the past few years without issue.  Most of the "DNN on GoDaddy" guides I've seen are, IMO, overly complex as they instruct the user to manually move an installation into the root directory.  This certainly is a headache compared to providers that allow direct root installation.

However, most GoDaddy users have no compelling reason to move their DNN installations into the root folder.  A couple of fairly easy steps will allow you to auto-install DNN through the GoDaddy management console and still run your site without having the installation folder name in your URL.  This point has been so overlooked that I recently blogged the "how-to" steps to try to help people avoid the pain of manually moving a DNN instance into the root just to be rid of the subfolder name in their site's URL.  See the "how-to" steps at the following link (hosted on GoDaddy, by the way):
 
   DNN Hosting Tips:  DotNetNuke on GoDaddy

   http://www.eguanasolutions.com/DNN_Blog/EntryID/31.aspx

Note that I have nothing against a root installtion on GoDaddy -- I currently have several sites running that way.  Over time, though, I've learned that a root install is not necessary for most users once you know how to manipulate GoDaddy's domain settings to set a subfolder as the web app "root" folder.  Using the auto-installer and changing a few settings gives you a prefectly fine DNN site on GoDaddy with very little extra effort over the "DNN friendly" hosting providers.
 
Unfortunately, you still can't expect GoDaddy to help you fix a broken DNN installation.  I've used GoDaddy for some sites mainly because I like GoDaddy's prices, have never (knowingly) experienced unexpected downtime and....well, that's about it.  Buyer beware.

Cheers!
