Oh! Brad. I just remembered that SQL Server has a free version out (MS SQL Server Express Edition). There are a couple of limitations, but speed is not one of them. We just moved one of our big clients to it so they could see the speed improvements and so that they'd feel better about shelling out the cash.

Thanks… I think he would definitely tolerate some latency if it saved him $6K.  I’ll check HostMySite out.

I've been somewhat pleased with HostMySite's shared Sql Servers.  Its not ideal, but 6000 versus a little slower response times, well there is the answer to your question.  How much dependency does the client's application place on speed versus initial costs?  you can always later move to a dedicated server, and the shared server on HostMySite has been ok for me so far.

I have a client who needs to get a SQL Server database up and running for his business.  He didn't particularly thrill at the idea of shelling out $6000 for a server license.  Does anyone have experience with a hosted SQL Server provider that they would recommend (or NOT recommend)?  Any pros or cons?  Any other options I'm not considering?

 

Thanks,

 

Brad
