Windows web hosting provider, Easy CGI, has decided to upgrad its shared hosting servers, to the new managed code programming model for Windows, .Net Framework 3.0. The Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 (formerly WinFX) is going to allow developers to take full advantage of the .Net Framework by mixing the power of the .NET Framework 2.0 with new technologies for building applications that have visually compelling user experiences, seamless communication across technology boundaries, and the ability to support a wide range of business processes.

By breaking down your usage like this it will be much easier to work out how much space you should go for (once you know exactly what files are counted towards your disk quota).
At nearly all webhosting companies websites now a days, you will see the two terms “Virtual Hosting” (VPS) and “Dedicated Hosting”. What is the difference between these? Well its fairly simple.
On a Virtual Private Server you have your website placed on a computer (The webserver), that has other websites on it - anywhere up to 350 or more. This has a number of down sides, such as being slower, less secure, as well as giving you less access to edit things on the server, such as installing & updating the system software.
