Windows-based Web Hosting

One of the popular web hosting services today on the internet is the Windows web hosting service. The Windows operating system is becoming the most commonly used operating system because of the new and excellent web-related softwares released by Microsoft. It is now used by many web developers and web users who require other Microsoft Windows-specific features in their websites. Many important applications like Microsoft SQL databases, Microsoft Access databases are compatible with the Windows-based web hosting service which makes it more user-friendly and very powerful.

Also, using the Windows-based web hosting service for designing and developing your website does not require very deep technical knowledge. As, stated above, it is totally user friendly. The Windows-based web hosting provides you with a top-quality graphical user interface (GUI), using which, even a novice can design and develop a good, attractive, and professional website.

However, the Windows-based web hosting service and the Windows web operating service are costly as compared to the other services and also they are not provided for free usage. You have to purchase the free or proprietary softwares and the license for using these softwares. However, the Windows-based operating system supports many important applications, softwares, web tools and add-ons, which the UNIX operating system and the UNIX-based web hosting service do not support at present. The Windows-based web hosting also supports all the main scripting language. For example, Active Perl, C, C++, Active Server Pages, Visual Basic and many more.
