title: sql and mysql automatic backup and .net hosting
body: <p>Hello this is a two part question</p>
  
  <p>1) Can someone recommend a way to automtically backup sql and mysql databases? Preferably if there is an online service (free or paid). Would be nice if the software or website could handle sql and mysql.</p>
  
  <p>I am currently hosting my .net MVC 3.0 application hosted on arvixe. We are on the final stages of development and run into an issue that corrupted the db a week or so ago. </p>
  
  <p>We were lucky that the db for now just contained test information but I gave a call to arvixe to see if they could restore a previous backup. It was only until this problem that they came clean and said that there had been no backup of any files for anyone on my server for more than 6 months because of some issue they were having. We never received any warning about this. </p>
  
  <p>This brings me to my next question:</p>
  
  <p>2) Could you provide me with some alternatives to .net hosting? monthly or yearly price is not an issue just looking for the best out there(shared hosting, not ready for private server yet).</p>
  
  <p>I notice I am getting session timeouts all the time while logged into the application butd see it happening even at the control panel so I am not sure if the issue might be bigger than just their backup procedures. </p>
  
  <p>All help is much appreciated. </p>
