IIS7 hosting offers FastCGI support!

FastCGI provides a high-performance alternative to the Common Gateway Interface (CGI), a standard way of interfacing external applications with Web servers. With FastCGI support and PHP configured to take advantage of FastCGI on IIS7 you'll benefit from the ease of development of PHP, the performance boost of FastCGI and the stability and security of IIS7 hosting.

IIS7 hosting brings improved Security features.

IIS7 introduces several new security features that enhance the security capabilities of the Web server, one of the newest is Request Filtering. The new built-in IIS7 request filtering can filter requests on the fly based on verb, file extension, size, namespace and sequences and many more.

IIS7 brings a unified configuration to both webhosts and developers.

IIS7 allows for a single web.config file for both website and web application configuration. Previously all IIS information was stored in the metabase and inaccessible to the site administrator without direct server access. With the new unified configuration scheme developers will have a single web.config for both their ASP.NET application and their website.

IIS7 offers tight ASP.NET integration built into the IIS core making IIS7 hosting even faster!

IIS7 allows website applications to leverage the power and extensibility of ASP.NET 2.0. ASP.NET features including forms-based authentication, membership, session state and many others can be used for all types of content, providing a unified experience across the entire web application. Developers can now use the familiar ASP.NET extensibility model and rich .NET API's to build IIS7 server features that are just as powerful native API's.

IIS7 offers improved troubleshooting and error debug functionality

IIS7 makes troubleshooting the web server and errant web applications easier than ever with built-in diagnostics and tracing support, allowing administrators to peer into the web server and see details diagnostic information. With the Runtime Status & Control API (RSCA) administrators will be able to see what requests are executing in real-time.

IIS7 modular design for improved performance and stability

In the always on, always available environment of website hosting, performance stability are key components to success. IIS7 incorporates a new modular design meaning that now modules that you do not require do not have to be installed. Yet another great security improvement in Internet Information Server 7 and windows hosting to come.
