Why Windows Server 2008 Web Edition?
Benefits and features of a Windows Server 2008 Web Edition:
There are many improvements over the previous Windows Server 2003. One such improvement is disk management and file storage. Spanned partitions can now be resized without the need to take your server offline.
Other such functionality that maintains server uptime is the use of quarantining corrupt files. In the past, administrators would need to take the server offline to perform a repair. With Windows Server 2008 Web Edition, these corrupted files are simply isolated for maintenance leaving the server to remain online.
In comparison to Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition, please note that the Web Edition does not feature DNS Support, Active Directory, DHCP, Hyper-V or Remote Desktop. While Windows Server 2008 Web Edition is a very powerful and reliable solution, if you require these features, it might be worthwhile to consider the Standard Edition.
Due to Windows Server 2008 Web Edition being a Microsoft product, it works well with other Microsoft applications and frameworks that may include ASP, .NET framework, MS SQL and IIS.
With the aforementioned Server Core option, Hosting.co.uk can install this lighter version of Windows Server that specializes in the use of command line actions instead of the Windows Explorer shell. This method strips out unused code, reducing the security risks while running at optimal performance.
