What is?
Windows Hosting
Web Hosting servers running a Microsoft Windows Server is an industry standard in network management and internet services. Until the recent addition of PHP as a scripting standard, if you needed inline server side access from your web pages, you pretty much had to use a Microsoft Windows Based Server. Active Server Pages (ASP) was the Microsoft favorite, and a viable option to using CGI scripting including Perl. Even with the inclusion of PHP, the Microsoft Windows Hosting Server is still able to hold its own with its inclusion of new .NET services, running its own flavor of PHP and the many varieties of databases usable on other systems as well. Yes, if you want diversity, a Microsoft Windows Server can provide it.
One characteristic of Windows Hosting is the cost. Traditionally Windows Shared Hosting accounts cost a small percentage more than Linux shared hosting accounts. Generally speaking, the additional cost goes towards technical and administrative support. The name Microsoft alone, chased by its trouble riddled operating systems in the past, have made it a prime target for hackers and malicious software. Keeping a Windows Server up to date and running smoothly can be a chore, and technicians available for these servers need to be paid – the web hosts pass this savings on to you. Another factor in price is the actual cost of Windows Server Software itself. It is no secret that the cost of the operating system is a sore point with small business, corporations, individuals, and yes, web hosts. Again, this cost is shared by the users of the operating system (Hosting Customers).
