[marythomas]

Linux web hosting is very cheaper than windows hosting. Linux web hosting is a great choice because it supports just about everything you require or need on your website from WordPress blogs to online sites and more. Linux is a free open-source operating system.

Linux is the most mainstream working framework for web servers. Since Linux-based facilitating is progressively famous, it has a greater amount of the highlights website specialists anticipate. So except if you have sites which need explicit Windows applications, Linux is the favored decision.

Linux hosting relates to shared hosting, the most famous hosting service in the business industry. Largest of the websites are now hosted using Linux hosting due to its affordable price and compliance.

Linux hosting is compatible with PHP and MySQL, which helps scripts such as WordPress, Zen Cart, and phpBB. Windows hosting, on the different hand, uses Windows as the server operating system and allows Windows-specific technologies such as ASP, .NET, Microsoft Access, and Microsoft SQL Server MSSQL.

HTH!

I prefer linux always because its secure and reliable than window .... If site coding is in .NET then its must that use window hosting because linux server did not support .net .... otherwise i will recommend also always linux hosting.

Linux and Windows are two different types of operating systems. Linux is the most popular operating system for web servers. Since Linux-based hosting is more popular, it has more of the features web designers expect. So unless you have websites which need specific Windows applications, Linux is the preferred choice.

I`ve tried both Windows and Linux hosting and I would recommend you to use windows as the host operating system
It depends on what you plan to do.

For example, if you’re going to host an ASP . NET web site, you’ll need Windows hosting. If you’re going to host a WordPress web site, then Linux is preferred (although it will also work on some Windows hosting plans with PHP enabled, if properly configured). If you’re hosting a simple site using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, without any server-side processing, it really doesn’t matter which one you choose.

It depends on your requirements. According to my experience, Linux hosting is better than Windows hosting.

Windows and Linux are two of the most popular operating systems used today. Both operating systems are open-source, which means that they are freely available to everyone. But there are also a few key differences between Windows and Linux. First, Linux is more secure than Windows. This is because it’s built on Unix, which has been around for decades and has proven itself time and time again. Second, Linux is much less expensive than Windows. This is because it’s much easier to build a Linux server from scratch than it is to build a Windows server from scratch. And finally, Linux is more flexible than Windows. This is because Linux allows you to install additional programs on your server without root access—i.e., full administrator access.

I always go for windows although not really closing doors with Linux. It is just that I am more comfortable with the graphic of windows and it is easier to us for me. However, I agree that Linux is better in terms of security.
