👈 Official Responses: 1), a subsidiary of SoftCom Technology Consulting (softcom.biz), introduced a "hybrid" hosting package on Thursday, giving its Windows shared hosting customers an additional Linux hosting account within the same plan for no additional charge.

"The demand for Linux tools and application support has been growing rapidly and can't be ignored," says Tony Yustein, CEO of SoftCom Technology Consulting Inc. "We still stand behind and support the Windows platform but we must listen to our customers. And they tell us that applications drive their choice of hosting provider, not the Operating System."
According to the Toronto-based company, customers will receive Windows application support including Microsoft SQL database and FrontPage, in addition to support for Linux scripts and tools such as PHP, PERL and MySQL.
"myhosting.com remains committed to the .NET initiative and firmly believes the future of application hosting will come from Microsoft," says Michael Carr, vice president of SoftCom. "However today we recognize that the open-source community has produced some great tools and we want to make sure our customers can use them. With our new blended accounts they now have the choice to run both accounts simultaneously at no extra cost."
