Good ASP / Access Host?

Already searched past threads

I searched the past threads and haven't found any referals to hosting services. My service is terrible. I have had my site down for up to a week at a time. It went down today and they will never tell me why, which I assume means it is their fault. They have tried to ban emails because of 'spam' which was an opt-in user reporting my newsletter as spam. And now they have finally helped me change my second domain name from a DNS alias to a DIR alias, but didn't tell me I cannot have a custom 404 page with it which means I will have to use querystrings which is unacceptable.

I need one that is going to provide reliable service, provide about 2gb+/mo traffic, 150mb-200mb storage, this aliasing problem resolved, access database, and frontpage. Also need e-mail 'hurding' for emails sent to addresses that do not exist.

Any recomendations? I wish a good connection for on site hosting was more reasonably priced.

TIA
Kevin

Unfortunately, most of the really useful discussions about hosting have been removed from the board to avoid possible liability problems.

Those of you that want to recommend a particular host, please do so in sticky mail, not openly in this thread. Sorry... And TIA.

iJeep, are you looking for a Windows/IIS server or will ChiliSoft ASP on a *nix host work?

Windows preferrably...but I might go ahead and redesign the site and databases...

Thanks everybody. I decided to make the switch to a *Nix server....working on recoding all the asp to php. As soon as they get the database set up I get to try to figure out how to convert that.
