Find an ms sql web hosting provider
Ms sql is the Microsoft answer to Mysql. Of course nothing is easy so you need special ms sql web hosting to house your database. And will any old hosting company be able to support this?Of course not, you need a provider the specifically provides ms sql web hosting.
What to look for
The ms sql and mysql platforms are very similar. Both are based on the SQL standard, but do have their differences. First thing is a ms sql server must be running windows. Of course being invented by Microsoft more or less strengthen this requirement. So finding a windows web hosting company narrows your search.
Now not all windows hosting companies will provide ms sql service. You want to ensure you have the option of using one. Generally a web host will list some of the basic features of the package you are looking at purchasing. If you know it’s a windows server click the more info or compare like to see all the features included. Usually you won’t see ms sql as one of the first features listed.
Easy CGI offers both ms sql web hosting, and my sql on all of their hosting packages; I’d check them out first.
Now this leads my to another point. Maybe it would be good to have the ability to run both Mysql and MS sql database on your web host. I won’t get into an in-depth discussion of why but it’s a valid point to consider when evaluating different service providers.
The fact is that there aren’t a lot of ms sql web hosting companies out there. The majority of companies offering databases are using Mysql and sometimes MS access. Be sure to evaluate whether the company offers windows hosting, and also MS sql. Don’t assume that any windows server supports ms sql web hosting.
