The principle of Choice is very simple, it is best not to use the Windows operating system. Windows hosting providers need to pay a large licensing fees to Microsoft, so the price is expensive.

If your website consume fewer resources, such as under 3k ip every day. you can choose Share Hosting (or called web Hosting). Shared hosting is divided the hard disk into several regions to sell, set up multiple sites on a server, all the sites shared CPU, memory, bandwidth and other resources. Shared hosting only allows One person to use, divide space to sell others is prohibited, but the price is the cheapest.
If your site is a little larger consumption of resources. You can choose to a cloud hosting, their prices are very cheap, only slightly more expensive than shared hosting. Such as GoDaddy’s Grid hosting , provided by the multi-server load balancing.
If you need more resources, you can choose Reseller Hosting or VPS, still more is Dedicated Server.
