I am looking for a new host. ASP hosting is required (which I have at the moment).
Someone I know said he uses Rackwire (www.rackwire.com). He has the DevRack package (http://www.rackwire.com/devrack.asp). He is happy with it, but before I move any further, I would like to ask the many users of the community about their experience or what they have heard about this host. It has what I need.

I have been told over and over again that mysql is faster, but so far I have not seen it for myself.
I code in asp, so ms sql is what I need, but since mysql works great with php or perl, it is a natural choice for that. It is possible to make mysql work with asp, but is too much work for what it's worth. Most apps I have, and work with were and are being designed around ms sql.

I suppose it depends what you want to do with it.

I don't want to offend you, but this was not the original topic, and I don't what this thread to start off on another subject.
