SoftSys Windows Shared Hosting is designed for businesses running ASP.NET, .NET, PHP and database-driven websites on Windows infrastructure. It combines Windows Server 2019/2022 with IIS 10, the Plesk Obsidian control panel, Microsoft SQL Server 2019/2022, MySQL and MariaDB. The service also supports hosted domains, email accounts, free SSL certificates and dedicated application pools, making it suitable for sites that need more than basic web space.

Pricing is organized across Starter Shared, Business Shared and Pro Shared plans. Starter Shared costs $8.95 per month on monthly billing or $6.95 per month with annual billing, and includes 2GB SSD disk space, 20GB monthly bandwidth, 2 hosted domains, 2 Microsoft SQL databases and 100 email accounts. Business Shared raises those limits to 5GB, 50GB, 5 hosted domains, 5 Microsoft SQL databases and 250 email accounts for $13.95 monthly or $11.95 with annual billing. Pro Shared provides 10GB, 100GB, 10 hosted domains, 10 Microsoft SQL databases and 500 email accounts for $20.95 monthly or $17.95 annually.

For Windows development workflows, Web Deploy and Visual Studio publishing are useful additions, while scheduled tasks and backups address routine administration. The service also lists support for WordPress, nopCommerce, DNN, Umbraco, Orchard Core, Sitefinity, Kentico, Joomla, phpBB and Moodle. SoftSys lists 24/7 in-house engineer support, website migration and a five-day money-back guarantee. Choose it when Windows-specific frameworks, Microsoft SQL or IIS matter; those needing a free plan or substantially larger shared-hosting limits should consider another option.
