Which operating system you decide to use should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Windows Media, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, or Visual InterDev, and you don't have the time to learn Unix-based solutions, you'll have to choose a Windows NT or Windows 2000-based host. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn't mean you should use a Windows host.

No plans are currently made to port our existing line of products to other operating systems other than DOS and Windows.

Yes. Many low cost hosting companies will not offer Windows NT servers, which greatly limits the features they can offer. With Intergrow you can have PHP and MySQL on either platform or ODBC, Cold Fusion, SQL Databases, and ASP on Windows.

Windows NT (both the Workstation and Server) is a 32-bit Operating System. It is a preemptive, multi-tasking Operating System, which means that the Operating System controls allocation of CPU time, not the applications, stopping one application from hanging the OS. NT supports multiple CPU's giving true Multi-tasking, using symmetrical multiprocessing, meaning the processors share all tasks, as opposed to asymmetrical multiprocessing, where the OS uses one CPU and the applications another.

We believe that if you are designing websites using a Microsoft product, you should have it hosted on an NT platform. Unix is an excellent platform. But, when it comes to Active Server Pages (ASP), Back Office, Windows 2000, FrontPage 2002, Access and SQL Server - there is just no substitute for the power and stability of Windows 2003.

A23. As to OS/2, the telnet daemon can be installed as a part of the IBM TCP/IP package. Use OS/2 detach command to start the desired job from inside your telnet session.

If possible, do not create any logical partitions, as we have had reports of this causing problems. Get NT running and its boot loader happy.

Web hosting is provided by most hosting companies based on UNIX related platforms, (e.g. Linux or FreeBSD). However, others offer Windows hosting based on Microsoft's Windows operating system. Your choice will ultimately be decided by what technologies, languages or gadgets you will be using on your site/s. If you need ASP, ASP.NET, Perl, PHP and MySQL, or Microsoft SQL Server your best choice would be Windows operating system.

Ans. If you are using Microsoft Windows based scripts (such as ASP, VBscript etc.) you will need windows hosting. But in any other cases we recommend to use the Unix/Linux hosting. to know more about this issue click here.

The short answer is no. Since Linux is a different operating system than Windows, it does things differently and that means that Windows programs such as Outlook Express, MS Word, etc, will not work. The good news is that there are almost always Linux programs that do the same thing as the Windows programs you know and love. Or, if you're like me, the Windows programs you know. The even better news is that these programs are usually free. Free as in $0 dollars.

CPC software runs in the Command window of Windows NT, XP, and Win2000. This Command window (often referred to as a DOS window) is, by default, setup with "QuickEdit Mode" selected. This prevents the mouse from selecting items in any DOS application screen. You will need to turn off QuickEdit Mode to get normal use of the mouse. If you find that you cannot use your mouse to select screen items, the fix is simple.
