| 2. What is the difference between Windows and Linux® hosting? |
Both
Windows and Linux are deployed as the operating systems for
servers that can be used for a variety of critical purposes,
including, but not limited to, Web, email, and database hosting.
Windows was developed by Microsoft and is, in many ways, the
flagship of their software solutions. Microsoft spends millions
of dollars developing and supporting Windows. Linux on the
other hand is a freely distributable, open source implementation
of UNIX. This tends to make it much more complex and more
difficult to support. We recognize the value of real Linux
expertise and embrace these solution providers as Laboratory
Partners to add our Windows expertise as a mutually beneficial
opportunity. Both
operating systems make excellent platforms for mission-critical
Web hosting. For many Web sites the operating system on
which the Web server is housed is not that important. The
real question is - are you using a specific Web site or
database technology that is more appropriately hosted on
Windows instead of Linux? If you are looking for a Web hosting
solution in order to support a specific Windows application,
you should go with our Windows Web hosting solution.If
you are undecided between Windows or Linux, please keep
the following points in mind:
- Active
Server Pages (ASP) functionality is supported under Windows
2000 only.
- MS
Access database support is available under Windows 2000
only.
- Remote
interactive access via Telnet or SSH is only supported under
Linux. Generally one is able to do more configuration/setup
steps themselves rather than having to request services
from your Service Provider.
- The
majority of existing CGI programs (generally PERL scripts)
that are available on the Internet have been developed on
Linux platforms, and hence tend to install and operate more
smoothly under Linux.

What databases does Host Labs Windows Web hosting solution support?
With regards to database support, what does ODBC and DSN support
mean? |
| HostLabs Windows
Web hosting has built-in support for Microsoft Access and MySQL
databases. ODBC
stands for Open Database Connectivity and allows your Web
site to access files in a Microsoft Access database. Your
account must be on a Windows 2000 platform to use ODBC and
these types of databases.
DSN stands for Data Source Name and points to where your
database is stored within your domain's file structure. This
name is unique to any other DSN in the server. DSN is also
case-sensitive, so be sure you enter the name exactly as it
appears in the server. Back |

| 6.
Does Host Labs Windows Web hosting support Active Server Pages? |
| Yes,
HostLabs has built-in support for Active Server Pages (ASP).
An ASP page is an HTML page that contains server-side
scripts that are processed by the server before the page is
sent to the user. Active
Server Pages allow you to develop dynamic and interactive
web applications. Your Web pages will be able to access databases,
personalize pages, and transfer and act on data between you
and your users.Back |
