What Are Benefits of Windows Hosting?

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Posted in Windows Technology | No Comments »

One of the great debates among It professionals and web developers is over which hosting platform is the best. Some will argue that the cost of Linux software, which is free, trumps the advantages of Windows. Others say that Windows offers more and thus is better. The truth is that both have their pros and cons, and the one that you end up choosing will often be a matter of personal preference. You will find, however, that Windows hosting has quite a few benefits that you will be able to enjoy.

What are a few of the benefits of choosing Windows hosting? You will find that Windows is compatible with far more applications than Linux. Since Windows is from Microsoft, it will be compatible with whatever applications Microsoft produces. This is very attractive to many developers, and it often makes the design of the site easier.

Security is good on both platforms, and Windows Hosting comes out with new security features regularly. The system is easy to use as well, and it is far more intuitive than Linux is. Even those who are just starting in the field should have little trouble understanding the Windows platform. Even though it is easy to use, it does not mean that it is simple. Experienced users will find plenty of features to use and explore. They will find plenty of other options as well. They can use different scripting languages, such as Perl, PHP, and MySQL. The options are limitless.

You will find that managing your website is quite easy as well. You will have plenty of features, and you will be able to navigate your way through them quickly and efficiently. Because many people are already familiar with the application, it might be easier to get started and less complicated to control as time passes.

The cost is affordable as well. Over the past few years, the cost of web hosting on all platforms has come down considerably. Everyone from large corporations to small businesses and individuals can afford quality hosting, regardless of the platform.

Before you choose one of the platforms over the other, it pays to do your research. Check to see what each offers. Knowing what you will need before you choose a hosting company and a platform will go a long way in helping you determine the best platform for your particular needs.

Classic ASP Vs ASP.Net

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Posted in Windows Technology | No Comments »

ASP (Active Server Pages) was for the first time was released in December 1996. Since then it has been through major changes and has grown and tailored to the new methods of developing web sites and applications for the internet over the period of time. There are two major forms of ASP:

o Classic ASP and
o ASP.net

In ASP.net major weight is on n-tier architecture in the application development and there is separation of data presentation, business logic and data access layers. In classic ASP these layers are mixed leading to the development of ineffective solutions with huge architecture that are difficult to sustain. The ASP.net offers object oriented approach for the software development where as ASP does not support classes. Only VBScript and Javascript were available for scripting in ASP where as, in ASP.net there are no such restrictions.

The .net compliant languages can be used with ASP.net like C# and VB.net, where both of them are server-sided languages where as in ASP only VBScript and Javascript are available as options to be used. Then the ASP pages are interpreted and the ASP.net Code is compiled .Traditional ASP can run only on- Microsoft platforms but ASP.net can be run on non- Microsoft platforms also. ASP runs under the inetinfo.exe IIS (Internet Information Server) process space and can lead to application crashes due to the start and stop process used by IIS. While ASP.net process is separate from inetinfo.exe and is not related to the IIS process isolation settings. The debugging process is easier in ASP.net.

In classic ASP the executable code cannot be separated from the HTML making the page difficult to read and maintain. The code block has to be placed when ever the output is to be shown. This limitation of code is overcome in ASP.net by the use of server controls. The HTML and Web Server Controls created on the server require a attribute to work. This attribute indicates that the page will be processed on the server. At the same time it implies that the enclosed controls can be accessed by server scripts. Validation Server Controls are a big advantage in ASP.net. It saves a lot of time and developers do not have to write their own functions as it is with ASP. Built-in validation increases the application reliability. Through this Double validation on client and server side can be performed.

The use of ASP.net pages gives a performance and security edge. It supports the usage of any .Net language. There is no restriction over the use of JavaScript or VB Script on your Web pages. Finally it can be said that ASP.net has opened up a whole new programming model with the blend and combination of web forms, server-side controls, data binding along with web services. ASP and ASP.net has just scratched the surface of the Microsoft Active Server Page technology, which will continue to improve in the coming years with the latest additions on the technology front.

WebHostForAsp.net support both Classic ASP and ASP.NET at all of our hosting package.

URL Rewrite Module On IIS 7.0

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Posted in Windows Technology | No Comments »

The Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7.0 provides flexible rules-based rewrite engine that can be used to perform broad spectrum of URL manipulation tasks, including, but not limited to:

  • Enabling user friendly and search engine friendly URL with dynamic web applications;
  • Rewriting URL’s based on HTTP headers and server variables;
  • Web site content handling;
  • Controlling access to web site content based on URL segments or request metadata

Features

The Microsoft URL rewrite module includes these key features:

  • Rules-based URL rewriting engine. Rewrite rules are used to express the logic of what to compare/match the request URL with and what to do if comparison was successful. Web server and site administrators can use rewrite rule sets to define URL rewriting logic.
  • Regular expression pattern matching. Rewrite rules can use ECMA-262 compatible regular expression syntax for pattern matching.
  • Wildcard pattern matching. Rewrite rules can use Wildcard syntax for pattern matching
  • Global and distributed rewrite rules. Global rules are used to define server-wide URL rewriting logic. These rules are defined within applicationHost.config file and they cannot be overridden or disabled on any lower configuration levels. Distributed rules are used to define URL rewriting logic specific to a particular configuration scope. This type of rules can be defined on any configuration level by using web.config files.
  • Access to server variables and http headers. Server variables and HTTP headers provide additional information about current HTTP request. This information can be used to make rewriting decisions or to compose the output URL.
  • Various rule actions. Instead of rewriting a URL, a rule may perform other actions, such as issue an HTTP redirect, abort the request, or send a custom status code to HTTP client.
  • UI for managing rewrite rules and rewrite maps. Rewrite rules and rewrite maps can be added, removed and edited by using “URL Rewrite Module” feature in IIS Manager.
  • GUI tool for importing of mod_rewrite rules. URL rewrite module includes a GUI tool for converting rewrite rules from mod_rewrite format into an IIS format.
