SQL SERVER WEB HOSTING
SelfNet started offering web site and database hosting solutions based on Microsoft SQL Server Ver.6.5 in 1997. Since its launch by Microsoft Corporation in the fall of 1993, SQL Server has come a long way, attaining a large share of the Microsoft Windows® platform market and experiencing double-digit growth every year. Innovative features have made SQL Server a leader in data management and business intelligence. The latest Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Windows Server 2003 family includes all the functionality our customers need today to do more with less, such as security, reliability, availability, and scalability.

WHICH DATABASE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
Although we can support both Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL databases, you will need to decide which database will better suit your needs - Access or SQL. That decision will depend on your specific web application requirements, such as performance, security and feasibility. We recommend using SQL database server for any commercial or e-commerce enabled web site where you collect sensitive business and/or personal information. In light of the sensitive and vulnerable nature of Web-based e-commerce applications, Microsoft SQL Server introduces significant security enhancements, not only offering the highest level of security available in the industry, but also making it much easier to achieve that level.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO START
All you will need is Internet access (LAN, Cable, DSL or a phone dial-up connection) and a software program to design and publish your web site. You will also need a licensed copy of the Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise Manager to manage your database using a DBO (Database Owner) account. All our SQL web hosting accounts feature Microsoft Windows and Internet Information Server platform, including support for Classic ASP and ASPMail, and can be easily upgraded with the new .NET technology at any time. We can also refer you to a professional web design firm specializing in SQL, ASP and .NET technology for a complete turnkey solution.
