Notts Wired Web Hosting

With increase in storage capacity, network band with and increased processor speeds, there has never been a better time for a business to take the plunge in to web hosting.

For anyone new to web hosting there are really only two main routes to go down. The first is the Microsoft .net platform which is basically a progression from Windows NT server running active server pages with database support from commonly with either Microsoft access or SQL server. This technology is proven and reliable and Microsoft regularly offer patches to keep the technology secure and safe. The only down side with .ASPNET is it’s cost in relation to it’s main competitor PHP which usually runs on Linux based servers although PHP runs just as well on Windows if you want an alternative to .ASP.

PHP has become very popular due its price and the amount of functions, and the enormous of libraries that are available free from the Linux community to make it more flexible. Typically a Linux/PHP server will use a MYSQL database as its main source of information and is very easy to configure and run through web based interfaces such as PhpMyAdmin.
