There are two main operating systems providing hosting
service. One is Windows NT, and the other is UNIX. If your using Microsoft products to
develop a website, you'll prefer to use a NT platform. The main features a site
provider will offer are: CGI_Bin support, Mailboxes, AutoResponders, ASP, SSI,
Database support, and E-Commerce. The following link is the most powerful and complete
site listing tool I've seen yet. The homepage also contains a wealth of useful materials.
