Full featured and ASP hosting are both very popular web hosting platforms and are widely used. When should you choose full featured and when should you choose windows?
You can use any hosting package with any home or work computer. For example, you can have Windows XP or MacOS X installed at home or work and use both full featured and ASP hosting platforms without any problems.
ASP hosting is ideal if you need support for Microsoft programming technologies such as ASP.NET, ASP and MS SQL, MS access, windows software components, etc and great uptime on your web site (due to the clustered nature of our windows systems). Windows technologies are generally used by web developers working specifically working with these web site coding technologies.
If you're not sure what the above technologies are, do not require them or are not sure if you require them, full featured
hosting is likely the best option for you. Full featured
hosting is also the ideal choice if you need support for PHP/MySQL programming technologies or you just want to run a web site with lots of free software/scripts.
Full featured hosting is generally the ideal choice if you do not use Microsoft programming technologies, as it provides better value for money in terms of features. Full featured hosting includes more free software without licence fees, more free standard features and you can download/install many free scripts from the internet that run best on the full featured based systems.
The core difference between full featured and ASP hosting is essentially the web engine. Full featured runs Apache and ASP hosting runs IIS (Internet information server). The web engine's primary role is to interpret your web site code and then provide your rendered web site to the end user. The ASP windows web engine, IIS, has native support to render Microsoft programming code. The full featured web engine, Apache, will render most other code, except Microsoft programming code. Both web engines will render most web sites without any problems.
