1&1 Internet Inc., one of the world’s largest web hosts, is improving its Windows Classic Hosting packages by offering Windows Server 2008 and more features for developers. With this new implementation, PHP and Perl (previously only available on Linux packages) as well as ASP.NET 3.5, .NET Ajax, and Linq are made available for new Windows hosting customers.

All packages include a .htaccess generator which allow all users to create a .htaccess archive easily. Such archives are generally used to determine the PHP version selected by the user, activate and deactivate the browser directory, and personalize error pages (like 403 and 404). Additionally developers have now the possibility to easily manage different versions of their projects, as 1&1 now offers the version management system “git.”

This upgrade to the Windows Server 2008 is at no additional cost for new customers. In addition, 1&1 Linux classic hosting also supports Zend Framework and PHP6 beta.
