EasyCGI Review, EasyCGI Web Hosting Rating; Easy CGI Host Rating.

EasyCGI was founded in the mid 90s in the east coast in New York area. it's regarded as one of the best Windows web hosting plans. They have their own data center, and the data center is located in the same building as their company headerquater. They also offer co-location solutions. Their state of the art Data Center and Colocation facilities use Dell PowerEdge servers with backup and redundancy plans. they provide fast set up for new clients. They offer 3 Windows hosting plans, the Basic Hosting plan priced at $7.96/month with 3000 MB of disk space and 50 GB of bandwidth. The other 2 plans are at $15.95/month (4000 MB disk space + 100 GB bandwidth) and $21.56/month (3000 MB disk space + 150 GB bandwidth) level, more than you ever need. Their offerings offer windows features such as ColdFusion, ASP, JSP, Access DB, and MS.net.

Windows hosting is usually more expensive than Unix hosting because the Windows operating systems (NT, 2000, etc) are commercial products and therefore license fees are required. While Unix/Linux is open source software distributed to the public license for free. Unix servers are tend to be more stable and reliable than Windows servers. The reason one will need a windows plan is the need of some windows-only-features including ASP, MS.NET, Microsoft Access DB, SQL Server, ColdFusion, JSP/servlets, etc.
