Below are listed all the hosts that offer MS Windows hosting services who have also attained Host Apprise's Bronze Medal or above. To find out what the Bronze and other Medals mean, please see our Quality Medals guideline. For other Windows hosting providers see the Related Pages menu bar on the right of this page.
Listed on this page are those UK hosting providers that provide Microsoft Windows Server based hosting solutions. Note, these are not just shared hosting providers but include other hosting solutions based around Microsoft Windows Server.
Windows Server is the operating system that will be running on your server, as distinct from other platforms such as Unix and Linux or OS X. If you are familiar with the Windows operating environment then you maybe more comfortable using a Windows Server hosting solution. This said, the transition to using Unix or Linux is not that great for the majority of us, since most of your interaction with your server will usually be via a control panel of some sort. These are the interface between you and the server and are fairly easy to pick up, in effect they are just web pages and forms.
Windows server hosting is generally slightly more expensive then Unix/linux based hosting platforms. This is primarily because of the popularity of these platforms over Windows server, thus more competition, thus lower prices. Also they are generally open source so less overall costs for the hosting companies to pass on.
