Windows Sharepoint Hosting FAQ

• What is the different in between WSS 3 or Sharepoint Foundation 2010 and MOSS Sharepoint ?

  You can consider WSS 3 a "smaller" version of MOSS . What we have here is a Sharepoint 2010 Foundation or WSS 3 Hosting on a shared server and since it is located on a shared server, we can offer it at a cheaper price. However, there are things that you cannot do on a shared server, such as you cannot do anything that requires administrative access (such as an access to the Sharepoint Administration portal, Sharepoint backup from the server, etc) and you cannot have an RDP access.

• How can I install any webparts or third-party applications/components?

  For Sharepoint Foundation 2010, you can use our integrated DotNetPanel for the webparts installation. It's just click away to install your webparts. For WSS Sharepoint 3.0 user you can create a support ticket for the webparts installation request. Our support staff will help you to install it from the server. For third-party application/components WSS user can creat a support ticket, provide the application/components and brief explanation about it, Our SysAdmin will review it first and do the installation if it possible, Charge may apply for 3rd party application/components installation.
