Despite its well-discussed drawbacks, Windows continues to be a popular platform for web hosting.\u00a0 There are many Windows-based hosting companies<\/a>, and they are having no problems finding new customers.<\/p>\n

The user who wishes to use Windows as their operating system therefore has a large pool of applicant web hosts to choose from.\u00a0 Though many of them are very good, we whittled the available contenders down to four that our research found to be a solid value. They are as follows:
\n
\nIX Web Hosting<\/strong><\/p>\n

IX Web Hosting<\/a> is very business-friendly.\u00a0 They provide extensive support for various types of Ecommerce software, their plans are all extensive and affordable, and they have fantastic support.\u00a0 This includes having your own dedicated account representative: you don’t know the value of this until you’ve had a problem with another host that has gone on for a month and went through six or so different technician’s hands.<\/p>\n

HostGator<\/strong><\/p>\n

HostGator<\/a> is becoming one of the web hosting world’s leading providers.\u00a0 They’ve been around seemingly forever and have won countless awards.\u00a0 Their services are known for their stability and reliability and they have support for multiple versions of ASP up to 4.0.\u00a0 They are considered by their user base to be very responsive and friendly, and they also are inexpensive with their hosting accounts as low as $4.76\/month.<\/p>\n

1and1 Web Hosting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another long-running juggernaut of the web hosting world is 1&1<\/a>.\u00a0 For starters your web site is dual hosted: if something happens on one of the servers hosting your data, your web site will keep running uninterrupted from the second location.\u00a0 Their higher-end shared accounts come with software for editing your website for mobile browsers, an increasingly important user\u00a0 segment.\u00a0 They also offer one of the longest money-back-guarantee programs in the business at 90 days, easily long enough to know if they are a solid fit for you.<\/p>\n

Bluehost<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bluehost<\/a> has been online for a whopping 15 years, and has taken its place as one of the most reliable web hosts around.\u00a0 They provide support for multiple content management software packages such as Tikiwiki, Drupal and Joomla (if you’re new to this field, please trust us: those are all highly coveted), as well as several blog and social networking scripts, and several different shopping cart packages.\u00a0 On their web site is a live demo site that you can use to sample their services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
