Microsoft hosting
Microsoft facilitates varying degrees of design and management through a drag-and-drop philosophy, via Microsoft FrontPage, .Net Framework and SharePoint. By this, Microsoft presents an advantage when it comes to the integration of Microsoft applications when you’re designing your website. Essential Microsoft-specific applications such a FrontPage or ASP ® will work particularly comfortably with a 1&1 MS hosting package.
Microsoft also presents an advantage if you plan to incorporate searchable databases to your website. The reduced development time and better integrated functionality characteristics of MS Hosting offer a real advantage for users wishing to incorporate database facilities to their website.
Choose the right solution
Consider the tools and scripting language you plan to use – if you use PHP, MySQL or Perl together with a variety of software programs, Linux is the one for you. If the applications you plan to use are Microsoft-Specific, then Microsoft hosting is likely to be the right choice. Either way, check out all the features on the 1&1 shared hosting packages available, and you’ll see the variety of ways you’ll be able to bring your web project to life.
