I’ve been looking and researching ASP.NET hosting provider for the past few weeks. Please kindly help me to choose the best hosting provider for me. I will be more details about my requirement below.

I’m leaning towards Microsoft Azure Web but a bit concerned about the price.

I will talk few about my website. Converting from WordPress to ASP .NET website utilizing MVC5. It’s primarily a static page where users can select drop-downs, hit Submit, and database checks are performed on SQL and a result is spit out. Kinda similar to a currency converter website. The site does not use a lot of storage or bandwidth, it does need good CPU performance, likely same with RAM. My concern now is hostforlife.eu. I have checked their dedicated server plan and it seems they fit my requirement. Their price is also affordable, and what I like they are European based windows hosting provider that has many Europe datacenter.

Currently averaging 1500-2000 visitors a day (45,000 a month, best month was 100,000 users). Website is global focused but users are primarily from West Europe and North Europe, followed by Russia.

Must Haves:

– Support latest ASP .NET and MVC5 framework

– Dedicated IP

– Support domain aliases

– E-Mail

– SQL database

– 99%+ Uptime SLA

– Non-EIG web host

– European DataCenter (Netherlands or France are great point)

Nice To Have:

– Dedicated or semi-dedicated hosting

– Supports Web Deploy via Visual Studio

– SSD

– Ability to Auto Scale during moments when the website goes viral (has happened in the past)

– Automated backups

Hopefully that’s enough information. I just need the information from all of you that using hostforlife.eu dedicated server plan. Anyone ever experience with them or other great suggesstion please.
