Dedicated Windows Servers for .Net Web Sites
A .Net web site is one that runs Microsoft’s .Net platform. The .Net platform consists of a virtual machine that runs programs written using the Microsoft designed languages C#, Visual Basic, F#, and more. These languages are modern, fully featured, and powerful. In addition to providing a virtual machine, the .Net platform also provides a large library full of useful programming constructs. This library can be used to easily build applications. For example, a web site can be built using the ASP.Net library features. An ASP.Net web site requires a web server to be accessible to the outside world. Large web sites require dedicated windows servers to provide a high level of usability. Dedicated servers are entire machines dedicated to running one web site. This allows many simultaneous connections to be possible without bogging down the web site. A web site that is very popular will require a dedicated web server, while a less popular web site can use a cheaper, shared hosting server.
