UK Web Hosting: IIS
IIS is a web server developed by Microsoft and is supported by a large number of UK web hosting companies. IIS server generally comes built with Windows OS and has the necessary tools and tutorials to enable a novice user to manage the server. As a result, IIS server is the server of choice for a large number of web hosting providers in the UK that have Microsoft Windows based farms. Since the IIS web server supports asp.net and other Microsoft technologies like Silverlight, they provide the user lots of options to host multiple types of websites directly from their development environment. In addition, many browsers support connection to the IIS webserver and hence deliver various experiences from the webserver to the end user. There are also associated technologies that are not a part of the IIS web server but work well with the IIS web server. As a result, if someone needs any of the associated technologies, IIS is the web server of choice.
