Recommendation of MS SQL hosting provider
Hey all,
Could anyone recommend a webhost provider who does MS SQL database? Need to be competitive as its for a work (NHS) thing.
EDIT: forgot to mention that needs to also allow asp and asp.net front end.
Cheers,
mads

depends on the scale..
I have been working with windows Azure and its very good for hastle free deployment and management.
If not that I would get a virtual server instance on either Amazon EC2 (We have just deployed an enterprise portal on there) or virtual machine with
1&1 then you have full control over backups etc

I use this company for a couple of the websites I look after
http://www.eukhost.com/windows-web-hosting.php
I think it is very cheap - does everything you need.

Its a simple asp front end linked to a MS SQL database. In terms of bandwidth, wont be too heavy usage as not many images to load.

Have you tried CSC? They have a good reputation for NHS IT work.

As previous posters have said, it depends on scale.
I work for a ICT Managed Services / hosting company called 2e2. We offer 'N3' network connected back end services (including sql) to many
government agencies, including the NHS.
We have our own datacenters in the UK and can provide pretty much anything in the Managed service space, from specific hosted apps, shared
infrastructure virtual servers and dedicated servers / internet connectivity.
If its small scale, not business critical (with no requirement for CLAS accreditation or Government Secure Intranet (GSI)) and price critical then
there's cheaper options out there. But if its something more then please feel free to get in touch.
Cheers

Colnago_Man - thanks but I think CSC's price will be more than what I am wanting to pay
Tris - thank you. It is a very small scale website and not business critical therefore will look elsewhere. But will bear you in mind for anything
else.
Thank you PDlewis and m8kwr for your suggestions - will look at those.
