The basics
What is Windows hosting?
Windows hosting is a shared hosting service that runs on Microsoft Windows Server with IIS (Internet Information Services) as the web server, instead of Linux + Apache or Nginx. It's the natural home for sites built with Microsoft technologies — Classic ASP, ASP.NET WebForms, ASP.NET MVC, .NET 6/7/8, Blazor — and for apps that need Microsoft SQL Server as their database.
The main differences from Linux hosting are practical, not philosophical. Windows hosting can run both ASP.NET and PHP at the same time on the same site (IIS handles the routing). It can host MSSQL databases — something Linux hosting can't natively do without third-party connectors. And it uses Plesk Control Panel instead of cPanel — equally powerful, but with Windows-specific features like ASP.NET version switching, IIS AppPool controls and MSSQL database management baked in.
Every Hostiger Windows hosting plan runs on enterprise NVMe SSD storage, with IIS 10, the latest .NET Framework and .NET Core runtimes, free Let's Encrypt SSL, Plesk for management, and dedicated Microsoft SQL Server accounts. PHP runs alongside, so you can host WordPress on the same domain as your .NET site. Best of both worlds, single bill.

FAQ
Windows hosting questions, answered.
What is Windows hosting and when do I need it?
Windows hosting runs your site on Microsoft Windows Server with IIS as the web server. You need it if your site is built with ASP, ASP.NET, .NET Core, or uses Microsoft SQL Server as its database. If your site is pure PHP with MySQL, Linux hosting is usually a better fit.
How is Windows hosting different from Linux hosting?
Windows hosting runs on Microsoft Windows Server with IIS, supports ASP/.NET natively, and includes MSSQL Server. Linux hosting runs on Linux with Apache or LiteSpeed and uses PHP + MySQL. Both can run PHP — but only Windows hosting runs ASP.NET natively and only Windows hosting offers MSSQL. Windows uses Plesk; Linux uses cPanel.
Can I host multiple websites on one plan?
Yes. Starter is single-site, Professional supports up to 50 sites and Ultimate supports unlimited. Add additional domains as "addon domains" in Plesk and manage them all from one panel.
Can I run both PHP and ASP.NET on the same site?
Yes — IIS handles both natively. Common pattern: ASP.NET MVC at the root, WordPress on /blog as a sub-application. Configure routing via web.config or Plesk.
Which .NET versions are supported?
All major versions — .NET Framework 2.0 through 4.8 (for Classic and ASP.NET WebForms / MVC apps) plus modern .NET 6, 7 and 8 (for cross-platform .NET Core apps including Blazor and minimal APIs). Switch versions per-site from Plesk.
How does MSSQL Server work?
Every plan includes dedicated MSSQL Server database accounts (2/10/25). Manage them from Plesk's built-in MSSQL tools, or connect remotely with SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Unlimited MySQL is also included for PHP apps.
Can I deploy from Visual Studio?
Yes. Web Deploy is supported for one-click publish from Visual Studio. You can also use FTP/FTPS, SFTP via Plesk, or git deployment via Plesk's built-in Git integration.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes — 15-day unconditional money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied within 15 days, we'll refund every cent — no questions asked.
Do you take backups?
Yes. All Windows hosting plans include automatic weekly or monthly backups (daily on Ultimate). You can also create on-demand backups from Plesk — files, databases or full account snapshots.
Can I get a dedicated IP?
Yes. The Ultimate plan includes a free dedicated IPv4. On Starter and Professional, a dedicated IP can be added for $5/month or $35/year. Useful for SSL configurations and specific applications that require a fixed IP.
