When it comes to choosing the right hosting package for your website, there’s a lot of choice, ranging from packages for large-scale sites to affordable deals for small-scale sites, such as those owned by entrepreneurial sole traders.
In certain situations, such as choosing dedicated servers by EUKHost, you will also be able to specify your choice of server operating system.

Largely, these days, the choice is between flavours of Windows and Linux. Whilst, there are benefits that come from both, here are some of the advantages that come with Windows server.
- Availability of .NET Framework.
.Net Framework constitutes a powerful set of development tools that dramatically increases the capabilities of websites. Dot Net powered websites can contain standalone applications, such as calendars, forum software, to modules such as clocks, and components such as photo galleries. Dot Net allows for speedy development of sophisticated websites, but is only available in Windows. So, if your developers are Dot Net specialists then they will prefer you to use Windows server.
- ASP support
ASP is a technology which allows dynamic web pages to talk smoothly to databases in an economical, streamlined way.
- Compatibility with Access.
Any databases created with MS Office Access will be supported only under Windows server.
- Sharepoint Support.
If you run a document sharing intranet, using Sharepoint, then it will be supported exclusively on a Windows server.
- ColdFusion Support
Should you choose Windows web hosting by EUKHost then you also have the option of selecting ColdFusion authoring software, which is exclusive to Windows.
- Familiarity and ease of use
Since Windows is still the operating system on most of the world’s desktops, if you are already familiar with the Windows operating system, then crossing the bridge to managing a Website on a Windows server will be a lot more manageable.
