Looking for Windows/.NET/Silverlight hosting - GoFuckYourself.com

I am in the process of launching a new site, and its developed using Microsoft's Silverlight 3.0 technology. Its backended by a WCF/RIA Services web service head and pinned to a SQL Server 2008 database.

I am looking for a hosting solution which specifically has gobs of SQL Server database space. The unique nature of the site and what its doing requires that I be able to support physical data files of 2-3GB at minimum along with appropriately sized transaction logs.

A lot of the hosting I see either is built on the Apache/PHP/MySQL stack or if it is Windows based, has strict phsyical size limits on the SQL Db.

If you guys have any ideas of who might be a good hoster or have a hosting solution yourself, please let me know.

Thanks a lot

bump! I want to know too.

Are average hosts up front about their SQL Server database space limits? I am about to sign up for some windows hosting just for learning purposes for the time being, and I don't want to get screwed over...

I use WinHost right now, which has a 1.5 GB limit on the physical size. They usually are transparent about it, and generally I havent seen anything more than 1.5GB available which is a pity.
