Website Experts: Linux or Windows Hosting? +K

Linux is more secure, but in the end I don't think it'll make too much difference to you as long as they both have the same features (mySQL, PHP, FTP, etc.),

You might be using godaddy? I don't know I just picked a big name hosting site. At a basic level everything is pretty much the same. Linux, yes is more secure, but windows is basically the same, until you get to PHP or different coding, also bandwidth etc...

I think those are some main points. Like the guy above me said, unless its something really big or with different language (php, c# etc...) you should be fine either way.

Alright thanks guys, I'm going to go with Linux because security is going to be important for the site. +K to you guys.

Yeah I am all about the Linux hosting. It seems to be a bit cheaper too. All my shit is hosted off linux boxes... And the guy that owns the hosting company works at Microsoft. haha What does that say about Windows vs Linux hosting?

linux is way better. basically if microsoft makes it fails

linux for sure

You must have failed english

Hey, I need to buy hosting for a website, and I honestly don't know the difference between Linux and Windows, if there is any, so any help is appreciated. Thanks




In my point of view, hosting on Linux is better than windows. Because, Linux hosting is cheaper  and  also provides more security and stability. Windows is paid one. Linux platform is faster than windows. It is an trojan-free platform too. So that, i would prefer  linux hosting  to you . Nowadays, there are so many hosting providers in the world. Before choosing the hosting provider you should check the following factors from them.
1. Support
2. Service
3. Hosting plans
Among all, i would suggest the hosting provider 9cubehosting.com . Here, they will provide 24/7 customer support ,daily data backup and additional features to you.
