Shared Web Hosting

Important: One of the biggest misconceptions is that you have to run Linux on your own computer in order for you to host your site on Linux platform. That is not true. Which operating system you run on your computer is irrelevant in making your decision. This means that if you are running Windows® 98 or Windows® 2000 on your computer, you can still choose Linux.

CentOS Enterprise Linux Hosting

CentOS Linux servers are known for reliability. They are so stable they are considered crash proof. Linux servers are capable of hosting thousands of web sites on a single server. While Windows servers may slow down under heavy load, Linux servers run without a problem. In many cases Linux servers run for years without having to be touched. This is why ISPs tend to use Linux servers for web hosting. The Internet was built on Linux servers. Linux servers have been around longer than the Personal Computer. Other hosting platforms are new compared to Linux. Over the years Linux has been refined to the point where it is bulletproof.

Weberz has standardized its servers on the CentOS Enterprise Linux verison of Linux for its Linux hosting customers. CentOS Linux is basically a free operating system. It is extremeley popular among colleges and universities. You are much more likely to find free software for CentOS Linux. There is a wealth of free programs and utilities available on the Internet. For example, the Internet's most popular programming language PERL is absolutely free. There is a certain culture that has grown up around Linux. It's common for people to develop Internet applications only to offer them free of charge. These applications can be installed on CentOS Linux web servers without obligation. No matter what your need, you can probably find a free Linux application that will suit your application.

We recommend Linux hosting to customers looking for reliability. We also recommend Linux to clients who have existing PERL or PHP/MySQL applications on their site.

Microsoft Windows Hosting

Windows Server 2003® is the big brother to the Windows operating system on all Personal Computers. Windows Server 2003® includes a web server called Internet Information Server (or IIS). The difference between Linux and Windows is a programming language called ASP and ASP.NET. ASP (short for Active Server Pages) allows our programmers to interact with databases.

ASP is the preferred way to deliver databases to the web. Web databases represent the newest and most powerful technology on the Internet. ASP and ASP.NET sites more closely resemble software than web sites. You can do most things with ASP or ASP.Net.

These are our "high end" web sites. Clients looking to extend the capability of their site (with programming and databases) are put on Windows® 2003 web servers.
