Presale Questions: I am choosing hosting services between Linux/Unix based OS and Windows based OS.(Unix VS. Windows) Which one should I use?
|
To choose a hosting service OS that is best suited for you, you want to first identify what you value the most, what application you will use.
Scripting, Compatibility
If you are into PHP, MySQL database and a lot of open source scripts that are already made, your best choice would be Unix hosting.
On the other hand, if you like ASP and Microsoft database, you would want to go for Windows hosting.
Costs
Unix applications are generally cheaper or even free while Windows applications charge you for almost every functionality.
Reliability
Unix/Linux servers are generally much more reliable than Windows servers.
Unix hosting has a lot of advantages over Windows hosting as illustrated, but I encourage you to perform a search on this topic on search engines to hear more opinions and facts on this issue.
