Windows Server Host Now Features node.js Support

Over the last few years, server-side JavaScript implementation node.js has really picked up in popularity among developers, and because of this, utilizing the software system has become more of a priority for many Web hosting providers.

Microsoft Windows hosting solutions provider DiscountASP.NET has been offering node.js support in its WebMatrix 2.0 beta labs sandbox for a while, and many of the developers using it have requested that it make node.js generally available in its Web hosting service.

Now, its Windows 2008 hosting platform officially features beta support for node.js.

It was a natural choice for DiscountASP.NET to begin supporting node.js, as Microsoft announced in 2011 that it would be actively working with Joyent to port node.js to Windows. The first stable port was available last November.

Web hosting companies are all but slashing their prices to attract new customers and retain existing ones. This presents an excellent opportunity to save a few dollars a year on your web hosting needs - whether you need Linux hosting or Windows hosting.

Case in point, Web hosting provider WebhostGIANT has extended an offer to provide Internet professionals with a 50% discount on its services. Choose between Linux hosting at only $2.79/mo or Windows Hosting plans available at $3.59/mo. As if unlimited Web Space and bandwidth were not enough, other account features include either Plesk or cPanel control panel, unlimited FTP accounts and subdomains.

There are hundreds of inexpensive web hosting providers on the market. If you feel like you're paying too much, look around - you may be glad you did.
