Hosting Multiple Websites & MailEnable Email Server on Database Mart VPS



MyOffice24 (myoffice24.net) is a company that provides web hosting, in-house software solutions, and email services to support business operations. We required an affordable Windows VPS hosting solution with SSD storage that could reliably run multiple websites, a MailEnable email server, and SQL databases—all in one server environment. We chose Database Mart VPS hosting with SSD because it offers the right balance of performance, stability, and pricing for our needs.

Application Scenario

Our VPS functions as both a VPS for website hosting and a VPS for an email server. It hosts 3 production websites, a custom WPF desktop tool (“Tools”), and the following applications:

Office 2021
Visual Studio Community 2021
SQL Management Studio v18
MySQL & MS SQL databases
MailEnable mail server
PHP server, FTP, and DNS services

With this basic Windows server, we can host multiple websites, manage automated email services, and run internal software tools—all from one reliable VPS.
