-Very reliable
-Efficient web server
-Lots of available memory
If it doesn't match these descriptions still please post your recommendation. 
Thank you |
You have more guts than me. I wouldn't do a whole site for an FRC team from scratch. Admittedly, I do websites for a living so the less time I can spend messing with HTML/CSS the happier I will be. Personally, I would use a CMS for the majority of your site. Not only does it allow you to spend more time on content (which is more important than being a custom designed thing) but it allows you to offload some of the content generation to other people. But don't let me sound like I am saying DON'T do it, just proposing an alternative.

I have to comment here, having your web server and your database on separate boxes should make very little difference. Where I work our database is on several different boxes and the limit is not the connection between the database and the server it was the amount of data one can cram down and internet tube. I'm not saying you are wrong in saying GoDaddy did not work for you but I do feel that perpetuating a rumor that having two different machines somehow impacts performance negatively would be wrong.
Sorry this post doesn't add any new hosting services.
