    Hi there,

    I want to know that can we install the Word press on the Windows Hosting.

    Secondly, how can we use and integrate our own Theme on the Wordpress?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Regards
    bushib

    Windows brings you a Windows desktop! Linux brings you the whole house.

    Wordpress can run on a windblows server, but only in second gear with three more to go (at half potential) and would be really a waste of a good application.

    Get a real server and let the open source wordpress work like it was meant to work!

    You can. But would be better if you use Linux. Anyway, its all up to you. Just make sure that host allows PHP and MySQL. Good luck! :)
