Which database/webserver for Windows ....

I want to know how usually users (hosting companies) install PLESK for Windows.
What kind of database they choose and which webserver.
I saw on a new install there is available MySQL, SQL, Access (as I remember) and IIS or Apache.
Which one is used mostly??
 
Hi,

It depends on many aspects: server's hardware, mostly used services, number of sites e.t.c.

Usually recomended configuration IIS+MSSQL.

Jet is usually used on virtual servers.

MySql is very handy for maintance.
 
I'm using Jet but have been informed by Plesk to use MSSQL due to the volume of domains - but response seems great to me...
