What is Windows-Based VPS Hosting?

Windows is a Microsoft owned commercially sold operating system that is commonly used in the hosting industry along with Linux. When you talk of Windows-based VPS hosting, it refers to housing your servers on virtual private servers using the Windows technologies.

It is recommended to opt for the Windows VPS if your website is built on the .NET script language. There could be performance issues if you use a Linux VPS server for your .NET based website.

One significant benefit of Windows VPS hosting is the extensive support of Microsoft. There are plenty of guides, FAQs, tutorials built and designed to help you understand the system better and for you to take maximum advantage of it. The Windows Hyper V is one such software. It is vastly applied to create virtual machines.

Yet another advantage of Windows VPS is that Windows is compatible with all the script languages including PHP, Perl, MySQL, and more. You can get easy access and use all the Microsoft technologies and tools including Windows Task Manager, Resource Monitor, System Center Operations Manager, Nagios, Microsoft SysInternals, Reliability monitor and much more.

VPS hosting gives you administrative control. When you are on a Windows VPS you can access your server via the Remote Desktop Protocol(RDP). This allows you to connect to the virtual desktop of your Windows machine and configure the server the way you want. Windows VPS hosting comes with the Plesk control panel that enables users to manage and operate their account with ease.
