Below is our review for MaximumASP. It is
based on our ten plus years of experience reviewing Web Hosts and Host
Finders. It is based on our
proven test procedures,
and on our
reader's reviews. This review is also based on the feedback we get
from our reader's comments, and emails as well as from the our
interaction with the business and Web developer/design communities in
the numerous online forums. Much of this review was conducted by a
non-paid independent panel of experienced Web developers that are very
good at what they do. We know that all of that combined makes our review
process different from anyone else's in this industry, but to top it off
it is important for you to know that unlike other review sites, we
Purchase the Web Hosting services we review. That's right. The
absolute BEST way to review Web Host services is by actually using those
services and comparing them to other Web Host services that have been
similarly tested with the same testing criteria. We do these tests
using an anonymous account so the Web Hosts will not treat us any
differently than any other customer. Our process is expensive, but it is
what we do because we want to be the best, and we want you to have the
best information possible.

Here's a Tip for you: We have never accepted money to give a
company a better rating. Our reputation is more important than that.
However, even though the vast majority of the "top
10" review type sites you see in the search engines appear to be genuine, they
actually base their lists of "Top Hosting Companies" on the affiliate
rates (or other advertising revenue) they
receive from the companies they list. The Web Hosts they list may be
good but the rating method used is faulty.
In our opinion, you should NEVER trust those types of review and rating
sites.

Overview:
MaximumASP has been at the forefront of the Windows NT based Database Hosting Industry. With the addition of Dedicated Server plans to their already impressive hosting solutions, MaximumASP seeks to show how Active Server Page hosting is done.
When last we reviewed MaximumASP (February of 2005) our Independent Review Panel enjoyed the transfer, hard drive space, their excellent support and amount of features in their plan. When Our Independent revisited MaximumASP they were happy to see the same exceptional support and hardware, and even more features.
Dedicated solutions are offered via Dell Poweredge servers. Coupled with their already strong network, MaximumASP's hardware is the essence of stability.
MaximumASP's Dedicated plans are chock full of features. Like their VPN (Virtual Private Network) plans, MaximumASP's dedicated plans come with a ton of pre-installed ASP components such as VisualASP Component Pack, Compsys InterChart, DynuCOM Component Suite, and more.
For the price, the amount of Web space as well as data transfer is well above the industry standard. As an added value, MaximumASP provides complete OS maintenance to include the installation of Service Pack, Security, and Hot Fix upgrades for free.
Support is handled 24/7 via phone or email. The MaximumASP support team is fast and offers a professional decorum. MaximumASP offers free support for nearly everything involved with the running of your server. However, if there is a hardware failure caused by the user or by a software package the user installs, MaximumASP will charge $150 per hour to get the problem solved. Though expensive, the fee is more of a deterrent for careless usage of dedicated server services and is a rarity.
Verdict:
MaximumASP's dedicated server plan are much like their VPN, high quality and feature-rich. If you are in the market for dedicated NT solutions with a healthy supply of ASP support check out MaximumASP.
Pros:
Excellent Hardware • Lots of Features • Lots of Web Space • Lots of Monthly Data transfer • 24/7 Phone and Email Support • Operating System Maintenance
Cons:
No Major Problems

In Their Words:
About Their Flexibility
"As professional Microsoft developers ourselves, we understand the needs and wants of developers who pride themselves in delivering the web-based applications that power the most sophisticated sites on the Web. The team at MaximumASP also understands the limitations and restrictions imposed by many hosting companies that force you to eliminate needed functionality from your applications. We have been there too.
The entire MaximumASP team is focused on one thing, bringing you the latest Microsoft technologies in a hosting environment that allows you the maximum amount of development freedom, security, and functionality. This combined with Superior Support™ from a staff of Microsoft Certified Professionals, means that you are provided with a robust hosting platform and support from a qualified staff of your peers."
About Their Support
"
Our team approach allows MaximumASP to maintain our infrastructure amd resolve customer support issues with the utmost effectiveness. We have eight functional areas of technical expertise, ranging from Disaster Recovery to Network Security to Server Provisioning. While all of our engineers know a good deal about all of these functional areas, this approach allows us provide focused training to teams of specialists and "go deep" into relevant technologies and methodologies.
These means that even your most demanding issues or requirements are handled efficiently by truly knowledgeable and experienced engineers, not just by support "generalists" using your critical issue as an opportunity to learn something new."

Comments From Customers & Forums:
WebHostingTalk.com: From PSFServers
"I have always admired MaximumASP.
I got my very first taste of windows hosting on one of their VPS plans in 2001 and was an ongoing customer for a couple of years.
Wow...what a plast from the past! And now we are about to launch our very own dedicated server company! What a long way we've come.
In many ways we have modeled our attitude toward excellence in customer support after my very pleasant experience with them. I am glad to hear they are doing so well. They are very good people.

"If you are looking for a dedicated windows solution, I recommend Maximumasp. If you are looking for a shared windows solution, I recommend Discountasp.net"
