Windows hosting at a better price than Linux!

Novara.ie has become one of a small number of companies in Ireland to become a Microsoft SPLA (Microsoft’s new “pay as you go” model). What this means for the customer is that Novara.ie can provide highly competitive pricing to customers for Windows products in a hosted environment.

Novara.ie are celebrating this accreditation by giving a 10% discount off all Windows hosting accounts for an indefinite period (for more information see www.novara.ie ). This puts hosting on a Windows platform at a price advantage to the Linux product range for the first time in the company’s history.

The last 6 months has seen Microsoft show a dynamic re-emergence into the web development and hosting market with newly released versions of popular applications such as:
