What is Windows Hosting?
Windows Hosting is hosting account that uses windows as
their server platform that allows for software such as MS FrontPage, ColdFusion
and MSSQL. Windows Hosting is a popular choice among programmers requiring
ASP and MS SQL for their work
What is ASP?
Active Server Pages, introduced by Microsoft in the mid-1990s, is a scripting
language designed to be embedded within the HTML code for Web pages. This
is the standard programming system for Internet applications hosted on
Windows servers. With ASP, you can combine HTML pages, script commands,
and COM components to create interactive Web pages or powerful Web-based
applications, which are easy to develop and modify.
What is ASP.NET?
ASP.net(sometimes referred to as ASP+) is the next generation of Microsoft's
Active Server Page technology(ASP). ASP.net is different from its predecessor
in two major ways: it supports code written in compiled languages like
C++, Visual Basic, and Perl. Also, it is able to separate the code from
the content, allowing WYSIWYG editing of pages.
Although ASP.NET is not backwards compatible with ASP, it is able to
run side by side with ASP applications.
Shared or Windows? Which should you choose?
There's no definite answer to this question. It's what you need to do
with your site that lead you to the type of hosting. If you want the tightest
security then Unix is probably for you. If you’re looking for compatibility
with all of Microsoft's products, then Windows is the best for you. If
you opt to use PHP to power your web site, then you’ll want to go
with Unix hosting. Between Windows and Unix server, there is no difference
in terms of ease of use and speed.
