If you can make the site as simple and efficient as possible, and
minimise any unnecessary use of PHP etc, hosting it with GNOME shouldn't
be a problem, but if it involves lots of custom or heavy PHP code, it
will probably take a long time before the sysadmins will be able to
check it over and approve it for use on Window.

It might be more less restrictive to progress to develop and host the
site on one of the VMs offered earlier in this thread, and apply to get
it hosted on window later once it's design and code etc has been
settled.
