I am very new to URL re-writing and I am using Plesk which is window-based web server, hence I can't use Apache's mod_Rewrite. Can anyone tell me what is the proper procedure for this?

Plesk is a webserver control panel that can run on Windows and Linux. It is not itself a webserver and is not the reason why you can't use mod_rewrite. What webserver are you using? – w3d Sep 28 '12 at 10:20
I am using windows based web server – Anusha Sep 28 '12 at 10:27
The reason why you cannot use mod_rewrite is because you are not using Apache (which can run on Windows), not necessarily because you are using a "windows based web server". It seems, from comments, that you might be running IIS. So, the answer you are looking for needs to be targeted specifically for this webserver and version. You should really be asking something like... "What is IIS [ENTER VERSION HERE] equivalent of Apache's mod_rewrite?" – w3d Sep 28 '12 at 12:15
@w3d Even more specifically, "how do I do rewrites in IIS using Plesk?". – paulmorriss Sep 28 '12 at 13:58

If you use Plesk there is usually a server section where you can configure which Apache modules should be activated. "rewrite" or "mod_rewrite" is the one to activate.

Then it depends on your software or scripts to make actually use of this module.

[Edit] Do you have the url rewrite extension available or can it be installed? See http://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

You can import the .htaccess rules on Windows hosting without any problems. If you have access to to IIS manager, just enter it, go to your domain and open the section Url-rewrite rules.Then use the Import button and your rules will be automatically imported to your web.config file.
