Choosing windows web hosting

Posted by dwspriya on April 29th, 2011

Microsoft has tended to dominate most of the areas in computing.  That is on the area of the web. In the earlier wars of browsers they managed, outsmart Netscape.  Although this happened web has remained to be a thorn for Microsoft. They have come up with windows web hosting.  One of the problems in going for windows web hosting is that it is not easy t get along with. The cost is also very competitive.  A good number of people are good with MySQL. PHP and PERL, but lesser people are ok with ASP and ASP.net version 1.1 and 2.0 all the way to 3.5.  This can be attributed to the fact that open source comes free of charge and those from Microsoft come at cost that may not be pocket friendly. Thus, it is very difficult to find staff that has the capacity of handling Microsoft related software. All this makes it difficult for you to sign up for web applications of Microsoft, as it may be futile to get support staff.

What draws the line between companies specializing in Web hosting from windows is that they o not have the components that are available in all the application. This includes PHP, Perl and MYSQL. What they offer is MS-AJAX. They will allow you to create directories of websites with a permission that is different and different levels of authenticating and you can generate directories of application from your control panel.

When it comes to matters of connectivity of databases, you should set up a DNS connection through ODBC other than DNs that are file based.  This means web-hosting companies of windows should have the capacity of supporting paradox, Excel, it should also support visual Fox Pro other than supporting and drivers of MySQL OBC. Thus, you need to have adequate prior knowledge.
