The term multi-site often refers to a hosting plan that allows you to publish multiple websites under a single account. This allows easy management of all websites under one account and lets them share the plan’s resources. Multi-site hosting is also cost-effective and, since it is billed as a single plan, you never have to worry about multiple bills.
Windy is a multi-site web hosting service for Windows hosting. Now, most users are well aware of the Windows operating system but very few of them actually know that Windows also has a Server edition, which helps run businesses all around the world. A web-facing implementation of Windows Server comes in the form of web servers that allow the publishing of websites using Windows Server IIS (Internet Information Services) technology and various other apps and tools developed by Microsoft such as ASP.NET (the programming language and environment), Microsoft SQL Server (the database that catalogs user information), and many plugins. So Windows Server, together with a hosting setup to serve web apps and websites, is a well-known, age-old, hosting environment for businesses. It’s just that most business users are unaware, and so are business owners.
When we designed the Windy service, we had been experimenting with Windows technology for a couple of years, especially in the Azure environment in the UAE for our clients. We also had broad experience hosting Windows websites (the ones that run ASP.NET or Classic ASP) for our clients, and we hosted them abroad too. Our experiences have been mixed, with Azure being our best choice for serious Windows deployments in the UAE, while most of the other mom-and-pop services are, how do I put it gently, somewhat a hit and miss. There are good ones too, but we’ve also had terrible experiences with a few of them. This blog will expand on that very soon.
Here’s what Windy is for our clients. A secure Windows hosting solution with the Plesk control panel, to help manage websites, databases, WordPress and all the technology needed to deploy ASP.NET, Node.js and Laravel apps, all from a single login. This enables easy management across multiple sites, reducing the overhead of managing multiple web hosting accounts, and not to mention, billing.
To keep things simple, we’ve created two plans with unlimited services, so you never have to worry about upgrading or hitting quotas. Our limits are soft, so even if a plan has a stated limit, you always have a little leeway.
Not to mention, we’ve been doing this since 2002 and offer various services in the form of .AE domain name registration, Linux-based web hosting, to name a few. So welcome to Windy. Order a plan and try out the service. The best part is we don’t require a long-term commitment or annual prepayment. Simply order a plan, pay for a month, and you’re all set.
Host on Windows. Fly ahead.
