Windows Vs Linux for a dedicated server? what do you guys think?

Hi,

I will prefer Linux hosting because it is more secure and reliable as compared to Windows Hosting.

I will go with Linux. Linux can run our websites and enjoy the performance and security of the Linux platform, Linux dedicated server hosting solutions are the most economical, reliable form of web hosting.

Choosing the Server Operating system depends upon the applications used to built your website. If you have a website built in asp, asp.net or MS-SQL or you are willing to use any Microsoft application like ColdFusion or any other, you will have to opt for a Windows VPS. If you have a website built in PHP or HTML, than you can opt for a Linux VPS.

Windows server is a bit costly then Linux, because Windows is a licensed OS and the some of the applications supported on Windows like MS-SQL Standard or Enterprise edition needs licensing too whereas Linux is open source, so its OS, database and various other applications are free to use.

The selection between a Windows OS or a Linux will depend on:

1) Applications used to built your own website :- If you have a website built in asp, asp.net or MS-SQL or you are willing to use any Microsoft application like ColdFusion or any other, you will have to opt for a Windows based hosting plan. If you have a website built in PHP or HTML, than you can opt for a Linux based hosting plan.

2) Databases required :- In case you require MySQL database, you can opt for either of the two but in case you need MSSQL database you need to opt for a Windows as MSSQL is supported only on Windows.

I will prefer Linux. Linux web hosting is very economical as Linux is a free operating system. Only the cost of distribution is borne by the host or owner. A Linux website can easily be converted to a Windows website without much hassle.
