WordPress Hosting

WordPress is the leading open source blogging engine on the Internet. Applied Innovations offers WordPress compatible hosting on the Windows 2003 platform allowing you to host both your website and blog on the same great hosting platform.

WordPress is built using PHP and MySQL, is licensed under the GPL and provides full source access. In addition there is a large developer community based around wordpress and there are literally thousands of themes and hundreds of plug-ins to extend wordpress.

In the past many webmasters have always thought PHP belonged to Linux hosting and ASP/ASP.NET belonged to Windows. Today PHP belongs with Windows too thanks to Microsoft and Zend working together to extend PHP's functionality and performance on Windows and WordPress is one application that has benefited from these changes.

Applied Innovations is fully compatible with all of WordPress's webhosting requirements (PHP, MySQL and a team of friendly support engineers to help.)

Common Questions About Hosting WordPress On Windows

How will my wordpress based site run on a Windows web server?

Microsoft has been working with Zend (developers behind PHP) to make PHP run as efficiently and reliably on Windows as it does on any other operating system. As a result your WordPress site, based on PHP and MySQL should maintain the same great performance and reliability that you've experienced hosted on any other operating system and you'll have the added advantages of ASP and ASP.NET for other parts of your site if you so desire.

Will all my favorite Plug-ins and Themes still work?

YES! In fact, it's no secret that most PHP developers develop on Windows workstations. We've tested many of the most popular plug-ins and have found them all to work without issue or require minimal modification on Windows shared hosting servers. AND any wordpress themes should also work without any modifications.

What are some WordPress blogs you host today?

The best example blog we host has to be our own blog: http://www.appliedi.net/blog/. We use all of the most common WordPress components: Akismet, Widgets, WP-CACHE, PERMALINKS, etc and our blog is very popular and accessed by almost all of our customers on a regular basis.

I heard PERMALINKS don't work on Windows. Is that True?

There's many different ways to use Permalinks on Windows, our preferred method is to use the ISAPI-REWRITE module, included on all shared hosting plans for free, which is fully compatible with MOD-REWRITE rules and will require nothing special added to your site other than the .htaccess file with the basic WordPress rules in it.

What makes your WordPress Hosting any better?

We offer a one-click application installer for WordPress, we have full support for permalinks and our base WordPress install is the latest build and includes many of the most common plug-ins and themes already added to the install and you just need to activate them. We've made WordPress hosting very easy and very affordable.
