Usually, the cheaper you go the more accounts are going to be sitting on the SQL Server, which means more chances for problems (people running bad queries that kill the server).</p> <p>$600 sounds a little steep for just database hosting. I currently use a fairly cheap host ($40/month for web/mail/database) and haven't had any major problems except for occasional slowness.</p> <p>Your host should do daily backups for you (otherwise I would look for another host). If you want to be extra careful you could always export your data on a daily basis to another SQL Server or Access database.</p> Mon, 29 Apr 2002 16:07:18 +0000 Peter J.
