Microsoft’s entry in Windows web hosting came with the introduction of IIS (Internet Information Server). With IIS, Microsoft includes programs for building and administrating web sites. It also has a search engine and support for writing web-based applications that access Windows databases like Microsoft Access and SQL Server.

Databases SQL Server and MYSQL are relational in nature. They allow optimized communication with your web site for quick retrieval of information. Microsoft Access database doesn’t offer the processing power of the other types of database options.

Scripting Languages For Windows Web Hosting

When it comes to writing CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts with Windows web hosting, the various options are ASP, ASP.NET, and PHP. Both ASP and ASP.NET are features of Microsoft IIS. Since these are server-side scripts building a HTML page, they can be delivered to any browser.

ASP.NET also features server controls that can seperate code from content, which allows WYSIWYG capability when editing web pages. It also supports code written in compiled languages such as Visual Basic.

Pre-made Code

In Windows web hosting there are many pre-made programs written for web servers. On the internet there are a number of web sites that cater to Windows web site development that you can check out.

These pre-made programs will vary in functionality and price; but they can range from free small components to a very expensive full-blown enterprise application.

Ever since Microsoft’s entry into the internet server market with IIS, Windows web hosting has become more appealing. In the web design market place, more and more people are opting for Windows as their hosting platform.

SQL Server Express is free (maybe because of its limited functionality. Still, it is a handy alternative compared to MSAccess to cater for large database):

SQL Server 2005 Express Edition is the next version of MSDE and is a free, easy-to-use, lightweight, and embeddable version of SQL Server 2005. Free to download, free to redistribute, free to embed, and easy for new developers to use immediately, SQL Server Express includes powerful features such as SQL Server Management Studio Express, for easily managing a database.

SQL Express actually uses the same database engine as it’s bigger brothers with the main limitation that it can only address 1 GB RAM. Not such a big limitation unless you are trying to run thousands of databases or Ebay off it. Express also has Full Text Search included now. Basically MS wanted to take care of the MySQL Open Source market.
