Frequently Asked Question What about web site hosting? The Web Management Studio framework requires a Microsoft Web Server supported by a Microsoft SQL Database Server - most commercial web hosting companies can readily provide such an environment, usually as one of their standard hosting plans. In general terms, there are three main hosting options: - Hire/rent space and services on a 'shared' server from a web hosting company.
- Hire/rent a dedicated server and services from a web hosting company.
Run your own web and database servers and associated services. See our Hosting Requirements document for more details.
For the majority of customers, option #1 represents the cheapest and most reliable mechanism for hosting their Web Management Studio web site. Typical costs range from less than £100/year to around £300/year depending upon the additional features offered. Your Web Management Studio Account Manager will be happy to advise you.
