EasyCGI
was founded in the
mid 90s in the east coast in New York area. it's regarded as one of the
best Windows web hosting plans. They have their own data center, and the
data center is located in the same building as their company headerquater.
They also offer
co-location solutions. Their state of the art Data
Center and Colocation facilities use Dell PowerEdge servers with backup
and redundancy plans. they provide fast set up for new clients. They
offer 3 Windows hosting plans, the Basic Hosting plan priced at
$7.96/month with 100 MB of disk space and 5 GB of bandwidth. The other 2
plans are at $15.95/month (200 MB disk space + 10 GB bandwidth) and
$21.56/month (300 MB disk space + 15 GB bandwidth) level. Their offerings
are unique in the sense that they offer windows features such as
ColdFusion, ASP, JSP, Access DB, and MS.net.
Windows hosting is usually more expensive than Unix
hosting because the Windows operating systems (NT, 2000, etc) are
commercial products and therefore license fees are required. While
Unix/Linux is open source software distributed to the public license
for free. Unix servers are tend to be more stable and reliable than
Windows servers. The reason one will need a windows plan is the need of
some windows-only-features including ASP, MS.NET, Microsoft Access DB,
SQL Server,
ColdFusion, JSP/servlets, etc.
