Hosting required

I run an existing site which is around two years old. I am on my second web host and I'm at the point I'd like to burn their building down! It's fair to say that I am less than satisfied.

Some details and requirements.
Server: Shared or dedicated - I'm open to suggestions. I want to manage nothing except the website itself though.
Size: Around 3GB and growing. RAID 1 would be of interest.
Transfer: Around 35GB a month and growing.
OS: Windows - site is written in ASP and running from a MS SQL database (so SQL database space is required).
Forum: There is also a phpBB forum attached using a MySQL database (PHP support and MySQL database required).
Email: Exchange email hosting required (currently only three mailboxes). Webmail required too.
Backup: (Daily?) backups required.

After the support disasters I've encountered I am keen to work with a company that does what they say, as opposed to one which just tells people what they think will make a sale. So, I'm looking for 24/7 support with a decent level of SLA (it doesn't have to be five nines, but it needs to be honest!).

It's a major pain in the a*se to move everything and I don't want to get a few months down the road and be in the same situation. I want a solution that I can rely on, but I don't want to pay Rackspace prices!

Thanks in advance.

Chris - Your packages don't seem to go above 4GB of storage which isn't enough unfortunately.

Jamie - Could you detail the database options (1 x MySQL and 1 x MS SQL) and email details please? I must say that it does concern me when I can't see a phone number on a website. Could you provide more information on support please?

Rob - Sorry, it probably doesn't require an Exchange server but I want to be able to connect using Outlook as the email client. I should have made that clearer.

Any more out there?

The DC-Hosting Dual OS Reseller Plans would be very suitable, giving you the best of both worlds - Linux for the php/mysql forum and Windows for the asp/mssql - we are rebuilding the plans to have more diskspace, so from £50/month you'd have 4Gb ...

PM/Email me with any questions

Hi,

As it would be a Dedicated Server, you'd be free to install any software / databases you required, as such there would be no limits on Databases, Database Sizes or exchange requirements.

We could even Have MySQL and MSSQL 2005 Express preinstalled for you.

Register1 offers 24/7 support via our Ticketing System, if you refresh on our homepage you'll see hundreds of reviews, the vast majority of which specifically mention how quick and helpful our support is.

We do offer a 24/7 telephone support service on Register1s Managed Services Parent company Serverstream, however the prices do reflect this and I fear would fall outside of your budgetary constraints.

Rest assured the ticketing system is extremely useful.
