To Buy Windows hosting has it's own rules. Despite Windows is by far the most-used operating system for home or office PCs, it is rather an outsider in web hosting. In this area, Linux is the dominating operating system. However, Windows hosting is becoming increasingly popular and offers many powerful features and possibilities, Linux hosting doesn't. One of the most important is the use of Microsoft products on web servers, like ASP scripts, ASP.NET, or MS SQL Server as a high performing database server. Another one is the use of bought or self written programs in C++ or C# on a web server.
Although Windows hosting is provided by numberless providers today, most of them take significantly higher prices for Windows plans, than for comparable Linux hosting packages. The reasons for this are higher licence fees (Linux is free, while Windows Server Operating System or SQL server are expensive products) but also more IT management work Windows-based servers require in comparison to Linux-powered servers.
However, we have researched many providers and found some, that offer Windows hosting plans at the same prices like their Linux packages. Our editors have compiled many relevant details about the hosting plans, the company backgrounds, price values, support quality, reliability, datacenter equipment, performance and many more factors. All these informations are fed into our hosting database and the above list is the result. It reflects the best Windows hosting providers we reviewed. |
