Windows Hosting (General)
What is Windows Hosting?
Windows Hosting utilizes the Microsoft Windows Server operating system and Internet Information Services (IIS) web server. It is the required platform for running applications built with Visual Basic, C#, ASP.NET, and MS SQL Server. It is known for its ease of use and seamless integration with the Microsoft ecosystem.
Do you support Microsoft Access databases?
Yes, we support Microsoft Access (.mdb and .accdb) databases on our shared hosting plans. To ensure security, we provide a protected folder that prevents these database files from being downloaded directly by the public while still allowing your application to connect to them.
Can I start a website without a domain name?
Yes. When you create a site, we provide a free, third-level subdomain (e.g., projectname.somee.com). You can use this for development, testing, or production. You can add a custom top-level domain (like yourname.com) to the account at any time later.
How do I use my existing domain name? (Transfers vs. Pointing)
You do not need to transfer your domain registration to us. You can keep your domain with your current registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) and simply point it to our servers. You can do this by updating your Name Servers to ns.somee.com and ns1.somee.com, or by creating an A-Record pointing to your website's IP address.
Can I recover my website from your backups?
We perform daily server-wide backups for disaster recovery purposes only (e.g., if a hard drive fails). These are not intended for individual customer use. We strongly recommend maintaining your own local backups. If you accidentally delete a file, we may be able to retrieve it from our archives, but this requires a manual search by an engineer and incurs a service fee.
Do you support PHP, Python, or other non-.NET languages?
Our Shared Windows Hosting environment is strictly specialized for the Microsoft technology stack (ASP.NET, .NET Core, SQL Server). We do not support PHP, Python, Perl, or other CGI scripts on these shared plans. If your project requires these technologies, you must use our Linux VPS or Windows VPS solutions, where you have full administrative control to install the necessary runtimes yourself.
Infrastructure Reliability, Security, and Uptime
We offer a 99.9% uptime guarantee backed by a robust infrastructure including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and regular malware scanning. Server maintenance is strictly scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize disruption. All accounts are isolated to prevent one user's security breach from affecting others.
