best hosting for ecommerce site?
 

What are some good hosting companies that offer MSSQL?

If you're going to be storing customer information, get yourself at least a VPS. Keeping sensitive information on a shared host is too risky in the long run -- you're relying on the fact that the admin of the virtual host is concerned about security. I have seen a couple shared hosts where I could run select queries against other people's databases and if I wanted to be malicious I could have walked away with thousands of records of peoples information. Also have seen a bunch of shared hosts with a ton of exploits/injections.

thanks for the help guys. I dont run tigerdirect.com though. I was looking for something a little less expensive.

We host ecommerce sites, but on linux platform ...
Our servers have been tested and approved by trustkeeper.net for security.

A virtual account with a dedicated IP for the ssl would be sufficient ...

We offer shared MS-SQL systems that you can rent storage on instead of getting your own installation. For a frontend web server check out some clearance deals we are doing.
