Hi,
I’ve had many years of experience using Unix servers but a potential client will need a Windows server to run several of his sites from.
I have no experience of using a Windows server, and the idea makes me feel a little sick, but basically I need to know:
1) Is it an easy process to transfer sites between two windows servers (including databases)
2) Are they easy to manage? Will I be fine with a few hours research to pick up the basics?
3) Can anyone recommend a UK host with excellent support for a Windows server - I generally prefer smaller companies with friendly and personal support rather than larger companies such as Fasthosts
4) How much should I expect to pay for a server?
Thanks in advance.
Tom
