Comparison Windows Hosting & Linux Hosting |
We are often asked which hosting platform one should choose, Linux hosting or Windows hosting. We let our customers decide which operating system they prefer. Both technologies can support your website equally well, and ultimately it comes down to personal preference, system familiarity and your comfort level.
One of the biggest misconceptions is that user have to run Linux on their own computer in order for them to host their web site on Linux platform. That is not true. The operating system of user use to create their web site has no bearing on the platform they choose to host their web site. That said, user may build a web site that caters to either a Windows or Unix operating system.
The following chart is a quick snapshot and side-by-side comparison of the two operating systems. Below, we've listed the major differences between the two that you should consider in making your final decision. In the process, we have also tried to dispel any common misconceptions regarding these platforms. |
