Offering full support for Active Server Pages, Microsoft Access databases
and SSL secure transactions, the Windows Plan enables the construction of
dynamic, data driven web sites with the minimum of technical knowledge.
You don't have to choose this plan just because you have Windows on your home or office PC! Our Starter, Commerce or Advanced Plans are more suitable for day-to-day websites. The Windows Plan is often used by developers who require ASP, Access databases, etc.
