Why Choose Windows Web Hosting over other Web Host Programs? Comment
The two obvious benefits of Windows hosting are that it provides added Windows-orientated support and performance.
By having web hosting on a Windows operating system and managed through a Windows control program means that Microsoft, the creators of Windows, have extra license to develop new software exclusive to Windows operating and controlled servers. Alongside their new software advances, Microsoft has been able to utilize this program partnership to add support for already established products produced by them to allow them to run directly on the server and provide editing resources for the server. One of these products is Microsoft Office.
One of the least spoken about advantages of have a Microsoft Windows control panel operating a server using a Microsoft OS is that the programs all speak the exact same language. Not just a similar parser or scripting language, but by being developed under the same roof their mechanics have been designed for maximum compatibility. This prevents any subtle drop in performance, and quite possibly provides a smoother performance as they operate like old friends and not new colleagues.
