Windows .net Hosting Virtual Servers
Legacy Plans What Plan to Select? |
There are two major platforms on which shared web hosting environments are developed - Unix/Linux and Windows 2003. The most common asked question to our sales staff is "Do I need Windows or Linux?" The answer to that question solely depends on what your web site is meant to accomplish. As a rule of thumb, we tell our "beginner" clients to stick with Linux, get their feet wet on the Internet and then if they need to expand to some of the core functionalities of what Windows can offer them, we will migrate them over to the Windows 2003 platform seamlessly, with no downtime to their web site. Linux has literally thousands of free software that you can download and install on your web site to spice up your content of the dynamic aspects of your site's content. If you need specifically ASP.net, MS SQL or other high end Windows2003 website functionality, then it would be time to upgrade to Windows hosting. One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to run
UNIX on your own personal computer in order for you to host your site
on UNIX platform. Which operating system you run on your computer is irrelevant
in making your decision. This means that if you are running Windows, you
can still choose Linux. Any software that you use to interface with your
web site such as localized FTP clients, MS Frontage, DreamWeaver, etc,
all run on all Windows-versions and MAC-based personal computers and do
publish and modify content on a Unix/Linux based web hosting account.
