Windows hosting has a reputation for being costly,
but 1&1 IONOS shared Windows range shows it
doesn't have to be that way.
Prices start at $0.99 (£0.75) a month for the first year,
$7.99 (£6) afterwards, yet even the most basic plan is
better specified than some of the Linux competition.
You get 1 website, 100GB web space and unlimited
bandwidth, along with 25 email accounts with 1GB
storage each, plus daily backups, 24/7 phone and
email support, a free domain and an SSL certificate
thrown in.
@ A2 Hosting
Run The Official Microsoft ASP.NET Site, PHP 7,
WordPress and more on the same Windows server
Windows Shared Hosting Lite $4.90/mth
Windows Shared Hosting Swift $5.88/mth
Windows Shared Hosting Turbo $10.78/mth
Speed-boosting CDN and Anycast DNS

A2 Hosting is a capable provider with a huge range
of plans covering everything from basic shared
products, managed WordPress and email hosting, to
reseller plans, cloud VPS and dedicated servers.
A2's Windows offerings include a capable Swift plan
priced at $3.96 (£3.1) a month initially, $11.99 (£9) on
renewal. This is a shared product, but a good one,
with unlimited websites, subdomains, email
addresses, databases and more. Highlights include
free site migration, SSD storage as standard, virus
scanning, automatic backups, free Let's Encrypt SSL,
Anycast DNS, and Cloudflare Free CDN for a claimed
average of 200% faster page loads.
Your site will be hosted on Windows Server 2012,
although you can choose Windows Server 2016.
Windows Server 2016 debuted many new features –
Nano Server, containers, ReFS, Linux Secure Boot
support – but you won’t be using these capabilities on
a shared hosting plan.
@ Hostwinds
Flexible mid-range hosting for cash-strapped power
users
50% OFF FIRST MONTH WITH TECHRADAR50
Hostwinds Tier One $8.99/mth
Hostwinds Tier Two $13.49/mth
Hostwinds Tier Three $21.59/mth
Supports Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016
Excellent tech support
Good value
While there are plenty of low-cost shared Windows
hosting packages around, they're not the best choice
for everyone. We suspect that many users who need
a Windows website will also require more speed and
functionality than the average customer, and budget
hosting may not be good enough.
Hostwinds’ Windows VPS hosting offers no less than
10 plan configurations, making it much easier to find
and purchase the precise level of service you need.
@ HostGator
From simple shared plans to full-on dedicated servers
HostGator Hatchling Plan $2.64/mth
HostGator Baby Plan $3.78/mth
HostGator Business Plan $5.68/mth
Few limits or restrictions
Very low starter prices
Shared plans have outdated software
Many web hosts provide some level of Windows
support, but it's often limited to a specific set of
products, such as dedicated servers. That could
become an issue if you decide you'd like to upgrade
or downgrade your hosting at a later date, so it
makes sense to look for hosts which offer more
flexibility.
HostGator has a range of Windows plans covering
personal and business-friendly shared hosting, and
ranging up to highly-specified dedicated servers with
the power to run just about anything.
Most of these products are distinctly short on limits
and restrictions. The starter Personal plan may only
support one website, but you're allowed unlimited
subdomains, emails, MySQL and Microsoft SQL Server
databases, and unmetered bandwidth and disk space.
It’s priced from $2.64 (£2) a month if you sign up for
the three-year plan, $6.95 (£5.3) on renewal, which is
cheaper than the equivalent Linux plans of some
providers.
@ Liquid Web
Top-quality professional hosting
Cloud VPS Hosting 2GB $29.50/mth
Cloud VPS Hosting 4GB $49.50/mth
Cloud VPS Hosting 8GB $69.50/mth
Powerful products
Highly configurable
Professional and reliable support
Liquid Web is a popular provider of high-end
professional web hosting services, and its current
range includes some very capable Windows products.
The company's Cloud VPS range hosts your web
space across multiple devices to improve
performance and scalability, delivering what Liquid
Web claims is the "fastest managed VPS hosting on
the planet". All plans include features that might be
chargeable extras elsewhere – unlimited sites, Gigabit
transfer, Cloudflare CDN, DDoS attack protection, US
or EU hosting – and run Windows Server 2012 or
2016, yet you can still get a capable setup for $99
(£71) a month.
Unusual touches include a choice of SQL Server
versions. 2014 or 2016 Express come by default and
you can add the Web Editions for $35 (£25) a month,
but Standard and Enterprise editions are also
available if you need them.
