Although, it is not very difficult to create services on your local machine with Windows operating system, however, when it comes to the Windows dedicated servers, it might be difficult for you. This is reason I am writing the steps given below to create a new service on Windows dedicated servers.

The main objective of this article is to help you out to run all the services on Windows dedicated servers which do not work sometimes due to various reasons and have to be recreated. Before you follow the below given steps, make sure that you have disabled the existing service so that we can create a new service with a different name.

Note : The Windows operating system you have does not create a very huge difference as the commands are somewhat the same.

1) Login to your Windows dedicated servers using Remote Desktop Protocol.

2) Click Start.

3) Select Run.

4) Write cmd (This command will take you to the command prompt).

5) Enter the commands given below :

sc create “service name” binPath= “path of service” DisplayName=”Displayname”
E.g. to create DrWebCom service than command should be like
sc create “DrWebCom” binPath= “c:\path to drweb folder\DrWeb\drwebcom.exe” DisplayName= “DrWebCom”

Once you enter these commands, the services should work.

The next step is to check whether the services work or not.

For this purpose, follow the steps given below :

1) Go to Administrative tools option of your Windows Dedicated Servers.

2) Select the option “Services”.

3) Now, Start the service.

Note : The changes you have made will not be of any use until you start the service.

Once you have followed the above steps, service on your Windows Dedicated Web Hosting has been re-created
