Affordable Windows Hosting Services for all your needs

What is Windows Shared Hosting?

Shared Hosting is a web hosting solution where multiple websites share the computing, processing, and storage resources of a single server. While Shared Hosting is the type of hosting, you also need to choose the operating system on which your Shared Hosting server will run. Conventionally, there are two popular server operating systems - Linux and Windows. The choice between these two options affects the way you interact with the web hosting package, the kind of applications you can use, and the price you will pay for your hosting package.

Windows Shared Hosting, also known as Shared Windows Server Hosting, is the Shared Hosting web server that runs on the Windows operating system. The fact that the Windows Hosting Server is shared between multiple users makes this option affordable, especially for those who are just starting out.

Windows Server Hosting is a good option if you are already familiar with handling the Windows OS on your personal computers. Being a Microsoft product, Windows Hosting gets regular updates to offer a secure hosting solution.

One of the easiest interfaces to use, Windows Hosting Servers are the only hardware that can run the .NET programming languages, Visual Basic or .ASP (Active Server Pages) scripts.

Why do you need Windows Shared Hosting?

If you want to take your website online, you need a domain name and a web hosting plan. A web hosting server is the home of your website; it is where the files and data required to take your website online is stored.

Shared Hosting is a type of web hosting where multiple websites are hosted together on a single web server. Windows Server Hosting is a Shared Hosting server running on the Windows operating system. Here are the reasons why you need Shared Windows Hosting Servers:

When can Windows Shared Hosting be used?

The Linux Hosting vs. Windows Hosting has been a perennial debate. The choice between Windows Shared Hosting and Linux Shared Hosting depends on a number of factors. You can opt for Windows Shared Hosting when:

1. You need the GUI interface

   : Shared Windows Hosting runs on the easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI), which works by pointing and clicking. So, if the Command Line Interface (CLI) of Linux Hosting confuses you, opt for the seamless Windows Hosting Servers with GUI.

2. You need Windows-based programming languages

   : Windows Shared Hosting is best suited for individuals who want to build or have much more complex websites that usually require languages such as Perl, ASP, PHP, etc. In case you wish to design a dynamic website, and you plan to use ASP or ASP.NET, then you should opt for Shared Windows Server Hosting.

3. You need the Plesk control panel

   : Windows Shared Hosting plans come pre-equipped with the Plesk control panel. If you prefer Plesk over the Linux-based cPanel control panel, you can opt for Windows Hosting with Plesk.

Windows Shared Hosting is an easy-to-use and affordable hosting solution. So, if you are a beginner or a small business owner, then you can opt for Windows Server Hosting for your web hosting needs.
