There's always a chance for WHT to expand to meet the demands of the industry.
I don't recall this ever coming up before though.There is no best host. There is only the host that's best for you.

Sounds like a petition is starting up . I'll get a few more Windows hosters to add their comments. Also check out the hosting section as a few people are asking for Windows specific hosting now. Even if WHT started with a separate forum for this that would be great.

Is there a particular reason why Windows discussions belong in their own set of forums? For some reason, it would seem silly to me to break out Windows, Linux, Debian, Sun, etc. into their own forum sets. Can't they all coexist, and thread starters can simply specify OS within their posts if necessary?

Windows hosting have their own set of problems, take for eg, Front Page problems alone can be a lot of headaches and issues to be discussed. ASP , ASP Net and the more recent Atlas and Microsoft efforts at collaboration tools such as integration of Exchange and Sharepoint puts it differently from Linux and Unix.
I would also love to see a Windows Only section.

Windows and Linux are two very different platforms.
Most Linux tips/problems dont apply to Windows, and vice versa.
Heres another vote for Windows Only section.

I could go on and on, but I only have about 9-10 years of windows hosting experience (only the last 4 as a dedicated server owner), I am sure people like Mark and others know10 times as much about potential challenges, their solutions and tips/strategies.
My point is simply, I do belive there is ENOUGH people who would appreciate windows-only "shop talk"Maurice W. Evans, Best-selling author & Marketing Consultant

Why don't you guys just be more specific in your topic titles? I don't see the need for platform-specific forums.

Windows does need its own forum. Tired of digging through forums to find items that apply to me and my Windows hosting environment.
