I mentioned before that I was using an IIS7 shared plan on GoDaddy.com. Their shared hosting plans are supposed to support multiple domains. Unfortunately, they implement the domains using some kind of URL rewriting that conflicted with the URL rewriting I setup for WordPress. After trying several different configurations that resulted in my blog being down for an extended period of time, I decided it is impossible (or at least more painful then I wanted) for me to host multiple sites.

I really don’t like shopping for hosting companies, because there are so many of them and a lot of different feature combinations. I wanted one that ran Windows 2008 with IIS7, had support SQL Server 2008, as well as PHP and MySQL (for WordPress). It also had to be affordable. After looking around quite a bit I decided on SoftSys Hosting. The reviews online were mixed, with some people really liking them, and others complaining. It’s hard to know who to believe, because it seems like there are a lot of fake reviews on the sites in both directions. Time will tell how good they are.
