BUILDANDHOST servers
At BUILDANDHOST, we
offer you maximum flexibility. We have
hosting packages based on both Microsoft
Windows 2003 (with full .NET Framework
support) and Redhat Linux. Some of our
packages even let you choose your
platform, and allow you to switch
automatically at any time!
Additionally, our unique Envisage shared
hosting platform means that your site is
hosted on not just one, but multiple
high-performance web-servers ensuring
maximum availability.
Here are the different types of web-server
we host our sites on - check the details
of the package you are interested in to
see which one is included with your
account:
 |
Envisage Standard
With Envisage Standard your site is
hosted on multiple web servers,
ensuring it is super-fast and always
available. The unique Envisage design
keeps your site on-line all the time -
always fully operational, even in the
event of a server failure.
Sites on Envisage Standard have full
scripting support for Perl, PHP and
CGI. Envisage Standard is based on
Microsoft Windows 2003 but does not
include support for ASP scripting (see
Envisage Windows if you require ASP). |
 |
Envisage Enterprise
Envisage
Enterprise includes all the benefits
described above. Additionally,
requests to your web site are evenly
distributed (load balanced) across
multiple servers increasing the
performance and availability of your
site. Envisage Enterprise also
includes advanced server
specifications and less populated
servers, ensuring optimal performance.

Envisage Microsoft and Envisage Linux
You can choose between Microsoft and
Linux, with Microsoft FrontPage 2002
extensions available on both.
Our Windows servers are the latest
Microsoft 2003 IIS6 servers with full
support for ASP, Perl, CGI, PHP, ISAPI
and SHTML scripting. Additionally,
our Windows servers offer full and
unrestricted support for the .NET
Framework.
Meanwhile, our Linux Apache servers
have the latest version of Redhat,
with Apache web-server and support for
Perl and PHP scripting. Full telnet
access is also provided.
Please note sites on Envisage
Microsoft and Envisage Linux are not
load balanced - your site is housed on
a single web-server. |
 |
Envisage Microsoft Enterprise and
Envisage Linux Enterprise
All the
features described above but your web
site is hosted on, not one, but
multiple high performance web servers,
ensuing that no single failure can
take you off line. In addition
requests to your web site are evenly
distributed or load balanced across
the servers maximising the performance
and availability of your site.
Envisage Enterprise also includes
advanced server specifications and
less densely populated servers,
ensuring optimum performance.
The most powerful and reliable
solution on the market today for
hosting critical websites and online
applications based on the Microsoft
.NET. |
