What is SQL Server Hosting ?

The phrase SQL server hosting can refer to a MySQL or MSSQL database software program that supports the Structured Query Language (SQL) or it could mean a dedicated database server with a version of SQL loaded on it. There are several versions or dialects of SQL as a software program, including MySQL, MS SQL (which also is called Microsoft SQL server) and PostrgreSQL. All of them use the standard SQL language as a base, but then add their own unique extensions to create a unique SQL server language.

SQL Server as Database Server

As a database server, Microsoft SQL dedicated server, is among the most popular in use. A SQL server is relatively inexpensive compared to other database servers, such as Oracle, and is capable of handling most databases. Oracle still has an edge over SQL server in very large databases.

MSSQL server is growing very rapidly in client/server systems that use distributed databases. A SQL server can be used simultaneously by many users on a local area network or linked via the Internet.
