- 1. If I have the Windows operating system on my PC, do I need Windows hosting?
- No, you do not have to use Windows hosting if your PC uses the Microsoft Windows operating system.
- 2. What is the difference between Unix and Windows hosting?
-
- In general, unless you intend to use specific Windows applications such as Access, ASP, Cold Fusion, FrontPage® and MS SQL we recommend you select a Unix package.
- If you are buying an nsHosting™ package for the first time, you may find Unix easier to use.
- If you are an experienced user or if your web designer is going to use programming languages such as PHP, or if you are going to use CGI scripts and want to interface with a database such as mySQL, then you may want to select a Unix package.
- 3. Is the blog feature available on both platforms?
- No. To install a blog, you must select the Unix® platform.
