on the good things I've heard about them here and in the CFDJ survey.
However, there is a quirk that took me by surprise...
With other hosting outfits that I've used, I had the ability to setup DSNs
that pointed to external databases (MS SQL for instance) that were located
on a server not at the hosting company (such as in my office). When I asked
CrystalTech about this, I got the following reply:
"In a shared environment, there are only so many connections that a web
server can make to a database (asp 1000, CF 50 concurrent). If we allowed
all web sites to make connections outside of the network, this would slow
the release of the connections and make it impossible to connect to any
database eventually. You will need to have a database located at
Crystaltech to use the shared hosting."
Does this sound right?
Also, SOT, anyone have any comments/experiences with IXWEBHOSTING? I'd been
using them and they seemed OK, good price/functionality, but lately they've
been flakey - loosing my website files and such - anyone else running into
this situation?
Thanks for the help,
