Linux vs Windows - Which is Good Choice?

[cullbuddy]

I am looking to buy web hosting services, which is good option? Which would you recommend?

Windows or Linux Hosting

[Octavius]

It depends on what you want to host. If you want to host a website with MSSQL or ASP.NET you will have to subscribe for a windows hosting. IF you don't have such requirements, I suggest you to get a Linux plan

Absolutely agreed with Octavius

Linux is for professionals while Windows is for ordinary people. Personally, I'd prefer Linux.

Both Linux & Windows have their own advantages and disadvantages. It totally depends on your requirements. Linux comes at much cheaper price and is more secure to use, but you need to know the commands of Linux. Windows are much easier to use and you can use it as your Desktop computer through RDP connection.

It depends on your script requirements, For PHP Linux is the best operating system and for Aspx Windows server is the best.

As per my opinion, it totally depends what kind of development language or database you might use with your website.

Linux hosting is often used for PHP, Perl, and Python language whilst Windows hosting is often used to ASP or ASP.net languages.
