I hope this is the correct forum to post regarding this issue. If not please let me know where I should post, if it is please read on.
I have a small number (5) of low volume ASP/ASP.NET, XML/XSL websites. As I want to be able to take advantage of some of the very useful ASP.NET components available (eg TallPDF) and do so with flexibility (ie pick and choose). In order to do this I need a flexible hosting envinronment, one that doesnt charge prohibitive charges for installing components at the same time my sites are very low volume. Furthermore I am based in the UK and would need to be able to increase the number of websites (ie from the 5 I currently have) without too much expense. What are my best options;
-Shared Hosting. Difficult to find UK based host that even allows you to install your own components.
-Dedicated Server. Slight overkill, especially as I dont need much bandwidth as I have a low volume website.
-Co-Location. Again overkill, especially as I dont want to get involved in administering a server.
-Use my own DSL connection to my company intranet server. Administration + limited bandwidth.
Is my understanding of my options correct? Which is the best way forward?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
