Windows Web Hosting Guide

Windows Web Hosting account Checklist

Are you considering moving away from your current hosting provider? Frustrated with lack of features and empty promises? Following check list may help you choose right one. Here is it.

Unlimited SQL Server Hosting vs Limited number of MSSQL databases:

SQL Server Hosting is expensive (when compared to MySQL Hosting in Linux Hosting accounts). So you may find that most of the windows web hosting companies may not offer unlimited MSSQL databases. If you only need a couple of MSSQL databases, then there are good choices. ( See Arvixe ). But if you have multiple websites and need to host many MSSQL databases, you have good news. There are a couple of good ones, reliable too. Unlimited sql server hosting.

Remote SQL Server management
Also very important is that Remote SQL Server management using SQL Express or MS SQL Enterprise is permitted by the hosting provider. Many windows hosting providers do not allow this(Lunarpages). This could be frustrating for a developer. The hosting choices listed(Arvixe and 3essentials)) above allow remote SQL Server management. This should be part of your checklist.

URL Rewrite Module support:
If you care lot about SEO and URL rewriting, opt for hosting companies that have support for this feature. If you have a dedicated server,then you have the freedom to install a url rewite module or 3rd party software. Problem is if you looking for a share hosting, then naturally installing anything on your home server is not permitted.
Luckily good ones (see Arvixe Review and 3essentials Review) have support for this.

Classic ASP vs ASP.Net Hosting:
Obviously you need to determine if you plan to use a ASP.Net hosting account or a classic ASP Hosting account. Nowadays most of the asp.net web hosting providers have both features in same hosting package. Some web applications have a hybrid model, wherein front end is in classic ASP and back office Administration is in ASP.Net Platform. Either way, you can keep this as part of your checklist.

PHP Support:
If you need to have PHP support(E.g: Wordpress in a windows web hosting plan), then make sure it is part of your hosting account feature list. Many major ones simply does not have php support.

Auto Installers: This feature allows you to automatically install many ASP.NET, php and mysql applications. (We know that Arvixe has DotNetPanel Auto Installer feature)

ASP.Net features and checklist:
If you are hosting a asp.Net app, ASP .NET version is important for you. Make sure your windows web hosting provider has support for the version your app was developed in. Nowadays most of them do support v2, v3 and v3.5 . Also check if you have support for LINQ / Silverlight etc for newer versions 3.x

AJAX Support: Also ensure the ASP.Net hosting package offers AJAX support.
Great Tech support:
This is the most important one in your checklist. Without a good support, especially tech support, you are handicapped. Make sure both customer support and tech support are great and have won good ratings(Arvixe) and reviews. Check out our listings in Top 10 Windows Hosting.

Reliable Servers and Data Centers
Make sure your asp.net web hosting provider offers a good up time guarantee(99.x%). Nowadays most of them do, but you can see they fail miserably. Ensure this by reading reviews and seeing ratings (E.g: read our reviews and ratings for example :) Our Top ones in the ASP.Net Hosting list offer reliable hosting). If you are hosting in USA, naturally, prefer hosting companies with data centers in USA.

Other important features to consider:
Number of email accounts permitted, Dedicated Application Pools, Free ASP Components , Perl, CGI, SSI support, Streaming Audio/Video etc

Summary: These checkpoints should help you evaluate a good windows hosting company. Make sure to read our Best ASP.Net Hosting list for more details. Reviews, ratings and recommedations are covered.
