One of the first and foremost question that comes to the mind, while you are planning to launch a Website, is the platform on which to host.
RDS provides servers with two different platforms to place your Website on
•
Windows 2003
•
Linux.
A Server is basically that which responds to the request of a client. In the case of a Website the client is a Web browser (Ex: InterenetExplorer or NetscapeNavigator) and the server is the server that we provide ie., Windows 2003 or Linux server.
For a savvy of Windows 2003 and Linux servers read the below:
Windows 2003
Windows 2003 server is a product of Microsoft Inc.. Windows 2003 is actually a platform, to put in simple words it is an Operating System on the Server.
Microsoft's Internet software suite is built on top of Win 2003 Server and built around Internet Information Server (IIS). IIS is the software service that makes your Web pages accessible over the Internet on a Windows 2003 server.
The first page that you view, when you view a site is called the default page of that site.
1. The default page on Windows 2003 server is default.htm or default.html . In case, you want your default page to be default.asp or any other page, you are advised to send a mail to support@rdsindia.com for enabling the page.
2. If the database you use is Microsoft Access, please create a folder "db" and upload your .mdb files in that.

Linux:
Linux server is a actually a platform, to put in simple words it is an Operating System on the Server. Linux we use is the product from Red Hat Inc.. Apache is the software service that makes your Web pages accessible over the Internet on a Linux server.
The first page that you view, when you view a site is called the default page of that site.
1. The default page on a Linux server is index.html
2. In a Linux Server all your htm and html files have to be uploaded in the folder called 'www' and the default file has to be index.html.
3. All your PERL files and CGI files have to be uploaded to the '/www/cgi-bin' ie., the cgi-bin folder which is in the www folder of the home directory.
4. All your mysql files have to be uploaded to /usr/local/var/'domain-name' (this is for database users).
5. All your class files have to be uploaded to 'Servlets' folder.
6. No ASP support.
Note :
Here 'domain-name is the name of the site without .com, .net or .org.
In LINUX, all the directory and file names are case sensitive
