Windows Based Web Hosting
Windows hosting makes use of Microsoft's Windows software for
the web hosting server for your websites and give you environment to run ASP
ASP dot net sort of web application with power of windows server environment.
Microsoft Windows and Linux are the two most widely used web hosting platforms
all over the world. In comparison to Linux hosting, Windows hosting allows a
better user friendly interface with Microsoft's own products and services.
Windows hosting supports all the popular windows web services used in web
development, allowing an individual to make a website or web application in the
language of one's preference.
Sometime new webmasters get confused that which one web hosting to choose from
the variety of two choices available in market such as Windows Hosting &
Linux Hosting for such users I highly recommend Windows Hosting to choose
reason being is this that web hosting providers today in market most of they
are offering PHP and MySQL sort of Linux server features in their web hosting
plans of Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 server. As they install PHP and MySQL as
a add-on on their server thus in this manner you get a few most important
features of Linux servers also within your same package of windows hosting
without paying extra for Linux web hosting package.
Using Windows Hosting is more users friendly and carries more benefits that are
the reason why it is so widely used these days. Each operating system has its
own unique features, and this brings their own advantages and disadvantages.
Linux platforms do not offer support for the dot NET technologies, which
includes ASP dot net. If you have already built a website using Microsoft dot
NET technologies then you may know the benefits of using this service, UNIX is
an open source which means that the operating system does not include any
charges. If you are planning to design a website with Microsoft FrontPage or a
web application using Active Server Pages (ASP) or any of the Microsoft
application then Windows hosting is the solution that you should go for.
It is said that Windows hosting are often slower than UNIX hosting in
performance but it proves a very cost effective choice from using hardware
efficiently whereas Linux hosting is incredibly efficient and gives you some of
the cheap hosting options available but does not support applications like ASP
or ASP dot Net applications which use windows platform to run.
These web hosts can also be used as data center space and inter connectivity
service for the Internet as web hosting is done in a safe and secure manner
with a number of anti spam filtering your data is always in secure hands or
rather you can say on secure servers. Customers get a quick account setup and
they can easily administer there hosting account with the control panel
provided by the hosting provider which is a traditional way of the control
panel. Sometime those websites which are hosted on shared server experience
some problems than from those websites which are placed on a dedicated web
server as the result of higher volumes of traffic cannot be controlled or
managed by these types of servers.
