I am looking to set up a WWG forum for a friend on another host other than WWG, and basically I obviously need it to be ASP compatible; now I found this site which offers all that I need, and it says the following:

http://www1.websamba.com/ - http://www1.websamba.com/  is the page, here's what it says...

    Inter-resting...

    Well I'll go with my gut and hope it works. And if it doesn't I'll email them * with endless abuse of them promising top-quality service and not delivering it; the dastards!

     

    * everything past this point is a joke.

    If you want decent hosting with all the fetaures to fully use Web Wiz Forums then you will need to go for a paid hosting solution.

    Free hosting accounts are very limited, offer little or no support, have many features disabled, and cram as many sites on a server as possible, but as each windows web server would cost the company 1000's a year you can't really expect much.

    These companies do it to tempt you into upgrading to a paid hosting account to get all the features you require.

    My advise would be to look for a paid for hosting service if you want a professional web site, with all the fetaures you require, good support, and good uptime.

    Found one! ...I shouldn't really drag this up but I was doing a forum search for something else and it popped up.

    http://www.xtwebhost.com - www.xtwebhost.com

    You have yo have pop-unders, but:

    a) Pop-unders aren't nearly as annoying as pop-ups. And;
    b) It only appears once every 24 hours.

    BUT... if you don't get more than 100 unique hits in a month then they can cut you off.. So I guess that's a downside.

    Nonetheless.. not bad.
