Hi all,
We're thinking of changing hosts (we've been doing this for about 5 months now and still not done it  )
Anyway - the latest possibility is a company called LunarPages
They dont offer MS ASP, but rather something that they call ChilliASP/SunONE ASP. Now we know that Snitz is fine with ChilliASP, but what about this SunONE ASP. Any offers if it will make any difference to Snitz ?
Cheers !
Andy

| The SunONE company makes the software called ChiliASP. The did some renaming of the company and now ChiliASP is now called SunONE ASP. That's why you have ChiliASP/SunONE ASP. They are the same thing. |

Davio,
As usual, a great helpful reply. Cheers mate !
Just to confirm, ChilliASP is going to give me 100% functionality with Snitz as what our current hosts MS ASP does ? |

We have tested our forums with ChiliASP/SunONE ASP and have found it works as it should. You might have problems with mods that haven't tested thier code with chiliasp, but shouldn't be to much of a problem. You got help here.  |

You will not be able to use an Access database, most likely.

Unless you host your access database on a windows server and connect to it from your unix server. But I wouldn't recommended it.
(MS SQL can only be used on Windows right?) |

| I think if your running Linux/Unix then MySQL is your only option. |

| Performance would be better than an Access database anyway (unless the load/simultaneous connections was very light in which case Access could actually be a smidgen faster, just depends on how busy the forum is really) |

Any idea how many users at any one time accessing the forums ?
Access can really only handle a small number of concurrent users (people will say different numbers, but my rule of thumb is usually around 15-20), when you start getting more than that online at any one time then there should be a guaranteed performance increase by upgrading to mySQL (assuming the MySQL box is configured correctly network wise etc) |

15-20 you say .. Hmmm.
Typically it can be anything upto about 90 according to Active Users mod set to 5 minute intervals. Guess mySQL it is then ! |

Definately :) I think I'm correct in saying Access has a Maximum of 255 concurrent users/sessions which in theory it can handle, but in reality it starts to perform poorly long before it ever reaches this maximum.
You wiil definately be better off with MySQL. |
