Testimonials From 2008

August 2008

NEW "Many thanks. I've signed up and already have most of my test web site working - I'm HIGHLY impressed with the service you offer.... I would add that I was pretty well at my wits' end, having failed to get the new web site working on my old ISP's Windows web server after trying for nearly a week, even though their server appeared to have all the necessary add-ons. With yours, I was up and running within a couple of hours. Amazing!"
- J. Hall

NEW "Thank you very much for all of your hard work over the last year. We can't say enough wonderful things about your site and service."
- A. Drake

NEW "Support fixed me up. They are really good here. Thanks guys!"
- ColdSun

July 2008

NEW "I signed up with DiscountASP.NET when my previous provider (1and1) was not able to address the growth I was experiencing with my MS-SQL Database. 1and1 told me that they had no solution for my problem. Since this is a privately funded site, and I am not very technically competent, and there are many different hosting solutions out there I was dreading making the switch. Your tech support people answered my initial questions, quickly and professionally, and even gave me the answers I wanted :) I signed up, and spent quite a bit of time testing the site. I had to make a few changes to the code, but not that many, and your knowledge base, forums and tech support folks were great. I made the cutover a couple of weeks back, and the results have been great. I am no longer having the performance issues I had with 1and1, and have had only a few "gotcha's" with the site. Yesterday is the day that I would officially have run out of space with 1and1. At DiscountASP.NET, the site keeps on running, and I have lot's of room for expansion. So, thanks to everyone at DiscountASP.NET for making what was to me a very major event, into a very minor non-event."
- M. Leroux

NEW "Much appreciated and am very impressed with your services. Your hosting company is one of the best that I found in all my research that would handle what we have designs for. :) So far so good!"
- PLB

NEW "All I can say is that it makes me extremely happy anytime I see someone take advantage of the platform in such interesting ways. Keep up the good work!"
- From Microsoft IIS Team member: Carlos Aguilar Mares Blog Post

"I have registered my second domain through DiscountASP.NET so far they are excellent for me."
- A. Ghaffar

June 2008

"DiscountASP.NET is bar none the best Shared Host in the world."
- M. Wisecarver

"Everything is going fine so far, I just have a bunch of setup and testing to do. I really like your program and people so far, I'm glad I found you."
- J. Hunt

"Allowing IIS manager, and documenting it greatly with KB article is top-notch customer service. I am so glad that I went with your company... I found everything I was looking for at DiscountASP.NET, and then even some more. I am very pleased with my decision..."
- B. Saydag

"I use their hosting for 3 different sites I run and they have been excellent in adding new features and maintaining a great price."
- K. Marks

"I have two web spaces with you and must say I am so impressed with the overall performance and service provided by your organization and its employees. Yesterday, I added SQL server to one of them and it was set-up in no time. I have a lot of technical knowledge as an MCSE, and developer and have maintained my own stuff in the past, but now I can concentrate on the sites I am trying to develop and leave all the other stuff to you. Thanks for the great service and knowledgeable employees. I should have done this a lot sooner... I have wasted a lot of time and energy maintaining my own stuff, not to mention the cost!"
- T. Jackson

"Btw, it’s nice to visit a forum for a company where you can consistently read messages that are thankful for such high quality support for a change."
- S. Trefethen

"I have been with this site for the past several years and I my experience has been great. Their support system works great. I am not sure how they compare with others price-wise, but who cares the service is great."
- J. Krishnaswamy

May 2008

"Wow! That simple! Thanks for all of the support and for really making my day. I'll echo other testimonials in saying that I couldn't believe how quickly I got a response to my initial request for help. It truly is reassuring to know that you back up your product with great customer service and support."
- M. King

"Just wanted to express my appreciation for the wonderful product and service you guys have. I needed to set up DotNetNuke for a client and I needed to be able to easily adjust the IIS settings and also backup and restore the database. This is vital if you need to perform an upgrade safely. Not only is your Control Panel first rate (it does everything), and your SQL tools first rate (allows backup, restore and maintenance), but you have a full Knowledgebase that gives me any answers that I may need. You have a good product when I can do complicated things and not have to call technical support. For complex configurations it’s nice to have a dependable host that knows what it is doing."
- M. Washington

"A big "Well Done!" to the folks over at DiscountASP.NET!"
From Blog Post: Web Hosting Companies adopting IIS 7 - Extending Management Options for users

"thx alot guys. thumbs up for one of highest forum service level ever :D "
- ev001

"I have lived through some pretty bad horror stories with other providers. After switching to DiscountASP.NET, I have literally thought I died and went to heaven! As a developer, I have enough to worry about in making my customers happy with their web applications. With my application hosted on DiscountASP.NET, I don't have to worry about the server status, I get a lot of heads up for any maintenance/improvement downtime, and I get great support even on the weekends."
- B. McCool

"... you all are doing a great job in all areas that I see. I have used your support several times and your personnel are great! So, thanks so much for your professionalism in everything you do."

This is probably my 5th time installing CS on the back end, which involved setting up my own IIS, and the whole deal, etc..., but this is my first time using a hosting service, I feel better that I chose your organization. You guys rock! "

- A. Westgarth

"We've been using DiscountASP.NET for a year now. Their support response has always been quick. Their support offerings and features are quite extensive. We use their SSL and SQL services and haven't experienced any major problems so far."
- D. Baker

"Everyting works very well now, thank you. I am glad I signed up with DiscountASP.NET especially because of your expertise in knowing exactly what I need and helping me. Thanks again,"

"After moving my hosting between several providers, I landed at DiscountASP.NET. I picked them after reading they were the #1 hosting company picked by readers of two tech magazines I read, and they've rated that way for several years in a row."
- geosync

"I'm very pleased with the speed with which my account was migrated to IIS7 on Windows 2008... Excellent turnaround by the whole of the DiscountASP.NET Team - Gold Stars All Round "
- A. Westgarth

"... your services and support are far far better than any of the supposed "business accounts" found at other prominent suppliers. I use DiscountASP.NET as a standard for services and support and happily torture other suppliers by telling them so."
- B. Sumpter

February 2008

"Hi, we are new subscribers and we've just hosted our new technical site here, on DiscountASP.NET... We planned a couple of weeks to upload and operate our site, but we were wrong... it was a matter of a COUPLE OF HOURS! Immediately account attivation, within a few hours we got SQL add on and connection string, a brief forum consultation, SQL attach data file tool and some web.config tunning, minutes to upload and... incredible... it worked! Also users and roles! Thank's DiscountASP.NET, we made really a good choice!"
- Mapick

"I’ve used DiscountASP.NET for a lot of different projects and I’ve always found their customer service to be excellent... In numerous situations they’ve fixed things or changed configurations, when all I did was inquire about them. And I’m always amazed how fast their response is. So much so that I felt compelled to post a comment ;-)"
- M. Wittemann

"Another reason I'm writing this today is because if you pay attention while surfing around the websites you visit, especially open source .net projects, you'll notice DiscountASP.NET is often providing ad support for these projects as well. For example, you'll notice BlogEngine.Net, SubSonic, and DashCommerce (formerly Commerce Starter Kit) are all also supported by DiscountASP.NET. This kind of support of open source projects should be applauded.... Note: I feel obligated to note that DiscountASP.NET is also one of the advertisers in The Lounge ad network which I run. That being said, I've used DiscountASP.NET for a few years now and I have absolutely no complaints so far. I wouldn't support them if I didn't use them and approve them myself."
- K. Fricovsky

"I can vouch for DiscountASP.NET. I have yet to find another shared ASP.NET web host that is as good as DiscountASP.NET."
- Tessai

"I'm based in the UK and have been with DiscountASP.NET since June 2005. I have been extremely impressed with their service. I own or manage 7 commercial websites and they are all hosted with DiscountASP.NET. What impresses me most is the support. I ask a technical question and usually get a response immediately. With my old host, I usually got several automated replies before a human would tell me it was my fault. The support at DiscountASP.NET have always been extremely helpful which I think is very important for the security of my websites. They also reply 24/7 which is helpful for us in the UK. My main website has over 1 million page views per month. It has had very little downtime - negligible. The control panel is very easy to use and I particularly like to the list of free asp libraries. They are also on top form with upgrading their software and removing software that causes problems. Overall, I would say that DiscountASP.NET is incredibly good value for money."
- R. England

"I'm using DiscountASP.NET for two SubSonic projects right now. They've supported it nicely since I started some 7-8 months. Unlike some other hosting companies, DiscountASP.NET also offers free backup and restore of SQL databases through the [control panel]. It's these little things that do it for me. The service is always up, always fast and they don't nickel-n-dime you. My kind of place."
- Tim M.

"Hi, I submited a ticket with my request... and at lightning speed DiscountASP.NET registered the further domain and set it up as a pointer at my account! Thanks for your help"
- M. Piccinato

"Been with DiscountASP.NET for 4 years...they have never been anything but on the ball and dependable. I have some other sites [with other hosts] mainly to play with. But, I leave anything and everything important on DiscountASP.NET. They have never failed me and they allow me access to everything I need without having to call someone to update an IP address or whatnot. Good to hear they're supporting SubSonic...my newest favorite toy!"
- B. Tarrance

"I opened a support ticket with DiscountASP.NET, explaining my situation, and asking for clarification on what I needed to do to change the MX records back to their site so I could restore my email flow. Less than 10 minutes later, I received what I thought was a case-creation confirmation email. But no; oh no; that’s not what it was. It was from my new best friend Cedric, and here’s what it said:
Your MX record has been reset back to original.
Thank you, Cedric
Holy Cow Batman! Cedric would have met my expectations by simply sending me an email with information required for me to reset my MX records to the default values for my account. He exceeded my expectations by actually performing the work himself thereby saving me the trouble. Yet another example of why DiscountASP.NET is my favorite hosting service."
- M. Milam

"This is a very, very thoughtful solution. Thank you for such excellent, consistent support. This is 100% above and beyond and why I send all my friends and clients to host with your company."
- T. Morgan

"Thank you again for your excellent response. It is very comforting to know how much you care for your customers - and get things done for us! I am very grateful. Best Wishes"
- Sophie

"Btw, it’s nice to visit a forum for a company where you can consistently read messages that are thankful for such high quality support for a change."

"Thank you so much! You guys are so quick and great!!"
- S. Butz

"I forgot to mention that as someone who works as a software developer for a living, I have grown accustomed to a certain level of freedom when it comes to configuring an application / database on their respective servers. What I truly value at DiscountASP.NET is the fact that, while we are not in a dedicated server environment, you guys have given the end user a surprising amount of control over their web sites / databases. The Control Panel API is truly valued by those who are familiar with programming, and the SQL 2005 tools, including the ability to attach a previously existing .mdf file and schedule backups is one of the reasons that I have chosen your service"
- D. Frazer - Testimonial #2

"I would personally not even consider looking anywhere else than DiscountASP.NET for web site hosting. As with any other provider, you sometimes experience problems and I take that for granted. It's the reaction to these problems that impresses me. Everyone I have communicated with has demonstrated the highest of work ethic and sincere concern for me as a customer even though I'm only a mere $15 a month or so in revenue. The feature updates are so wide-spread and frequent I can't even keep up with them. The tools are constantly going from great-to-awesome. I know there are cheaper sites out there but I do not think the VALUE could be any better anywhere and I won't even be looking. Thanks for doing a great job. DiscountASP.NET ROCKS !!!!!!"
- J. Ward

"I just wanted to say that I am nothing short of impressed with the service / products that you offer. The support that I have received has not only been thorough and informative, but incredibly timely as well. The SQL Server 2005 hosting, ASP.NET 2.0 / 3.5 hosting, and Intuitive Control Panel / Control Panel API are worth the price alone. And speaking of price, DiscountASP.NET has provided me with the increased functionality that most shared hosting sites can’t provide at a fraction of the cost of a virtual / dedicated server! You guys are doing a great job!!!!!
- D. Frazer - Testimonial #1

"I've had a great experience with DiscountASP.NET. Their support has been responisive and always extremely curteous and helpful. Being a novice at web design, they have been there for me to answer any questions I had. Not to mention, my web site and email has always been up and running. I highly recommend them."
- Anonymous Post

"Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to develop the backup application for SQL 2005 databases!!"
- BrownDog

"I have to give some kudos here. Since transferring my site to DiscountASP.NET, I've experienced improvements on all fronts:

Ease of setup

Control panel useability

Site useability (my site runs better, as if DiscountASP.NET is better tuned for ASP.NET apps)

Database access and setup is infinitely easier

The knowledge base is a fantastic resource

Forums helpful too

Price:performance and price:features ratios are excellent

real job guys, keep up the good work."
- Prujohn

"I've been running my own dedicated server but picked up a DiscountASP.NET account to experiment with .NET 3.5, another programmer I work with uses them too and is very happy with them."
- J. Bigelow "I love you. Not only are you are clear about the services you provide, but you publish instructions even a fool could understand. Very refreshing!"
- J. Rodzinski

"It works and things are coming along now ....u guys Rock!!!!! Party on dudes!!"
- R. Briskey

"DiscountASP.NET for me is like a car family, when you get one that is good, you tend to stay with it."

Sampling of Testimonials From 2007

H2 2007

"The team over at DiscountASP.NET have just launched .net 3.5 hosting platforms in their offerings! That's right, you can host your .net 3.5 web apps with them! ... in addition, they've enabled cardspace integration so you can login to your control panel using one of your personal information cards. pretty cool, i'm going to have to check that out. thanks to DiscountASP.NET for continued support to user group communities as well as being an early adopter hoster so that early adopter developers can benefit!"
- T. Heuer

"Thank you so much for your quick response. Our site is working smothly now and your hosting feature like AJAX, Enterprise Library are wonderful. I am really satisfied with your hosting services. I begin to love DiscountASP.NET over other hosting company."
- A Levi

"You sure hit a home run with the release of the SQL Backup API. This is just what the doctor ordered for our company. We have multiple databases for our product for which we like to retain our own local copy for backup purposes. Performing this manually would have been very labor intensive, thus very costly. Instead, with just an investment of a few hours of work, we were able to create a program using your API which we have scheduled on one of our in-house servers to do the entire process, including deleting the backup, creating a new one, downloading it and then gathering bandwidth and storage usage statistics. I can’t say enough about how impressed we are with what you offer your customers. Keep up the good work!"
- B. Rubertone

"Hey DiscountASP.NET! I have been messing around with GoDaddy to get an SQL database on line and accessed through Web Expression, Visual Studio, SQL management, and everything in between. I've called them, searched their knowledge base, etc. etc. and couldn't get an answer about connection strings, and getting a database connected. I've been working on this, off and on, for months. I bought training sessions, checked out books, ... nothing...... I got the SQL database provisioned through you guys and had it connected within minutes!!!! Now I want to set up a membership only website.... seems like it will be a piece of cake now that I've found the right home"
- Peg

"I've been a customer for a few years now and although I may not take advantage of everything you have to offer, my expectations have been exceeded almost every time I have need to talk to anyone from DiscountASP.NET. I have a number of friends who are constantly changing their hosting company and still complain about poor service and downtime. I am pleased that I have never had these problems."
- P. Jones

"Your feature set rocks... I am a highly seasoned .NET (and any other language you can think of) veteran, and your services are great for both the developer and the production minded! I hope to be closing a deal next month for which I'd need dedicated production hosting space, and you are definitely my first pick. I have gone through the entire evaluation process with all your competitors, and you are definitely the leader by an order of magnitude. Your integration, upkeep with current technologies, and a dozen other things make you by far the best service I've worked with. Many thanks ..."
- W. Neithardt

"DiscountASP.NET is AWESOME! 30 minutes, and my site is set up and running! I have wasted three complete days with godaddy! ... I'm just happy that you have the equipment and staff to make a deployment work like it's supposed to. I'm a happy customer."
- T. Elam

"Thank you for the excellent service that you offer and for a great functionnal website to host SQL2005 and ASP.NET applications. I did 3 places before finding your website. Yours top them all."
- C. Lafrance

"I am extremely happy with DiscountASP.NET . When I was back in school I had taken my .Net classes and wanted to try my hands on ASP.Net and bought a test domain and played with it. The staff were very friendly and answered all my dumb questions and I was really surprised how quick they were in replying to my emails. Now, I got a new account with them and working on a new commercial site. To summarize, DiscountASP.NET is the best .Net hosting site I have seen and it is worth the money. But of all, I like their helpful staff who is quick in response to their customer's questions! Thanks Guys !!"
- S. Sundaram

"Many thanks for your quick and helpful response on this matter - although I've only been a customer of yours for a few days I am already highly impressed with how efficient you all are. Thanks!"
- M. Fairhurst

"I moved from my provider (was in Germany) to you after I've done a deep research. As a senior SW engineer developing with .NET the last years, I have to say: your service rocks ;-). The tools are _great_ folks, every piece of the admin GUI is well designed. Great work, I can't even compare it to my previous providers in this price range. DB attach/detach/backup, APP pool recycling, .NET1/2 settings.. Nice job! I moved all my application files, HttpHandler logic, UTF-8 encoded files, a lot of SQL structures and heavy localized data content (Slovak language, guess the chars!) - no problems at all, I couldn't believe it ran after the 1st setup. If I shall find anything I should think you could improve, I'll sure let you know. But so far, I was able to order, activate, transfer app + db (sitting in Switzerland) from Germany to USA , configure and run my web platform with _no_ support from you ;-). Ajax.NET, T-SQL, .NET2, uploading files, HttpModule etc. Congrats, folks, this I call a success story."
- A. Macko

"Been with DiscountASP.NET for about 3 years now. They have been very cooperative with enabling/cancelling features and charging/crediting promptly and fairly. I have had ZERO credit card problems - they have always done exactly as I have expected. Service-wise, last week I had them activate a SQL Server 2005 account. Had some trouble on my end making the connection. The first time in 3 years I raised a ticket. Their response to my initial ticket was about 2 hours. I was away for quite a while, & when I didn't respond they followed up. Finally, when I was able to sit down & work at it, they were back & forth with me in minutes until the problem was resolved. I found this as good or better than most phone help desks I have worked with. I can't vouch for high volume performance, but for me, with a couple of small web apps, experimenting with different databases and programming technologies, I couldn't ask for a more economical, flexible arrangement. No regrets whatsoever."
- D. Eaglesham
