Is Windows Hosting Still a Good Option?
With Linux as the up and coming website hosting method, maybe you’re still wondering whether Windows hosting is still a good option. Depending on your hosting needs, Windows actually may be your easiest choice.
Certain programming languages tend to favor certain hosting options, namely that Windows excels in running .net or visual basic. Further, if you choose to use Front Page along with its accompanying extensions, Windows will be your best, if not only choice. Linux servers also do not support .ASP, also being a better choice on a Windows server. This will prevent you from dealing with compatibility issues between your site and your server.
Depending on your level of experience, Windows may be the most user friendly choice, especially for those who are very familiar with the Windows operating system. If you are not familiar with Linux, Windows hosting prevents you from having to learn a new system to maintain your website, getting you up and running much faster.
Your hosting needs are unique and Windows may be the best fit for you. Talk to your preferred web host provider today!
