Our ASP Ultimate web hosting package comes complete with SQL Server 2008 database support (SQL Server 2005
also available) and is perfect for use in business-critical web applications where backend database performance and stability are of the essence.
You should consider SQL Server if your web site is a critical component of your business and it's
operation is dependant on a fast and reliable database. SQL Server hosting can also be considered
as a natural progression path for web sites that currently utilise a Microsoft Access database.
It is often the choice made by those who are finding that Microsoft Access is no longer suitable
or reliable enough for coping with the increased traffic demands made to their web site.

What is Microsoft SQL Server? |
|
Microsoft SQL Server is the industry leading database for business critical web applications. SQL
Server is a comprehensive, integrated data management tool that enables individuals and organizations
to reliably manage mission-critical information and confidently run today's increasingly complex
online business applications. |

How can I use a SQL Server database? |
|
Microsoft SQL Server plugs into your web application just like any other relational database.
There are a range of visual management tools that you can use to administer, manage and performance
tune your SQL Server database to ensure you get the very best out of your web site. Many of these
tools can be downloaded free of charge direct from the Microsoft web site.

| |
What version of SQL Server to you provide? |
|
We provide support for SQL Server 2008 databases which are hosting on our latest Windows 2008
servers. However we can also provide support for SQL Server 2005 databases hosted on our Windows
2003 servers. If you require support for a SQL Server 2005 database please request this by
contacting us at admin@storminternet.co.uk once you have placed your order and we can ensure
your hosting package is assigned to the correct server.

Why use Storm Internet to host your SQL Server database driven web site? |
Full Remote Access
Unlike some of our competitors, we allow you full remote connectivity to your SQL Server
database and do not restrict access in any way. You are free to connect to your database
using ODBC plus using admin tools such as SQL Server Management Studio to ensure that you get
the very best from your database and consequently, from your web site.
Easily transfer your existing SQL Server database
With our SQL Server hosting package, there's no need to rebuild your database from scratch should you wish to
transfer an existing SQL Server database to us. If you already have a SQL Server database
hosted elsewhere, all you need is a Back Up file (.bak) copy of your database and using our
control panel, you can quickly restore and integrate it into your web space with us. Have your
database online with us in minutes rather than spending hours reconstructing it via SQL scripts.
