Windows 2000 / 2003 Web Hosting

Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is the best hosting platform Microsoft has released to date. It is faster, more reliable, and more secure than its predecessors. All Windows 2000 / IIS 5.0 servers have been upgraded to 2003.

For customers who require Windows hosting to serve their web sites we now offer one Windows 2003 web hosting package running IIS 6.0. See our shared hosting plans for Windows web hosting package details.

Windows does not come packaged with a suitable telnet or SSH server daemon. If you require direct remote control of your web server via Terminal Services, please consider our dedicated hosting plans where you have full control of the server.

Our Windows servers come with ActivePerl 5.8.1 and PHP 4.3.4 installed as well as two different available database applications, Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and MySQL 4.0.16 for maximum code compatibility.

Windows hosting should only be considered by customers who have development requirements such as using Visual Basic, ASP, ASP.NET, or any other .NET framework applications for the Web which limit their hosting options. For everyone else, please consider our Unix web hosting services.

Note (Microsoft FrontPage): It is a common misconception that sites created with Microsoft FrontPage must be hosted on Windows servers. Although FrontPage is a Microsoft product, FrontPage Webs can be hosted perfectly on a UNIX web server with FrontPage Extensions installed.

Note (Hosting Features): All services not related to the user's web site are still hosted on a linux server with the CPanel hosting control panel. This choice was made because of our anti-spam filters in conjunction with SpamAssassin. They are so useful and so powerful that we could not imagine hosting without them.

Windows servers also come equipped with Windows Streaming Media services. These streaming points are available for both Unix and Windows hosting customers.
