Users who purchase Windows hosting can use technologies such as Active Server Pages, which Webservio describes as "Dynamic HTML documents that are embedded with Microsoft's Visual Basic scripts or Jscript ..." In addition to this, Windows hosting supports traditional HyperText Markup Language files and the PHP programming language, which popular scripts such as WordPress require.

Users who specifically require ASP support may look for a host that specialized in Windows hosting such as M6.

However, consumers without specific needs may use either Windows or Linux hosting.

When searching for a website host, the hosting server is one of several options available to the consumer. Typically, website hosts offer packages that increase in price as the resources such as space, bandwidth, number of domains supported and script support increase. Windows hosting prices may also differ from comparable Linux/Unix hosting packages.
