Need Windows Hosting to Run Windows Software

by Melody
3 replies
Hi All -

Have purchased a few pieces of software recently that are Windows, we run a Mac office and I would rather run these from a Windows server than direct on my computer.

Any suggestions for a good host? I know there are a couple of folks that specialize in this on the WF, but would like some customer feedback first!

Thanks -

Mel

    Just a heads up, most host-based Windows servers are running Windows Server 2012 OS that may not be compatible with Windows 7/8 desktop software. I recommend verifying with the vendor what platforms are supported.

    Thank, Jesus! Good point! I have used a couple of companies in the past that actually had Windows servers set up to run Windows software, but one was down more than it was up, and the other was bought out by another company, and they no longer offer the service.

    I'm familiar with Windows Hosting, ASP.NET Hosting, Reseller Hosting - JodoHost.com. I have used their Windows hosting before but then switched to Linux. Solid host all the way around. Not sure if their Windows setup will fit your needs, though.

    I recently moved away from them, after many years of being a happy customer, because of a technical decision regarding Wordpress installs. If not for that decision, I would still be there.

    Can't hurt to check them out.
