    If your website is developed in .net or visual basics then you should go with the windows hosting service.

    If you are familiar with the Windows operating system, having a Windows based server will make the learning process much easier. You won’t have to worry about learning a new language just to maintain your website. For beginners, this is a definite plus.

    Languages such as Visual Basic, .net, and .ASP run terrific with Front Page and Access. The largest advantage of a Windows hosting server is compatibility with other technologies.

    The basic differences between Linux and Windows reseller hosting is the operating system that makes it more complex. These both services are dedicated to operating system and they can be used by the users, but, not by new users. Both, the services are designed in such a way that, there exist the same type of hardware into them.
    One of the basic differences that indulge into it is that it is the open source which is always the good thing and also Window Reseller Hosting is now available at inexpensive price.

    Linux and Windows are two different types of OS. Linux is the most popular OS for web servers. Linux-based hosting is more popular and therefore it has more of the features web designers expect.

    Windows servers and Linux servers use different control panels. cPanel is available on all Linux-based hosting plans, such as Linux Shared, Reseller, VPS and Linux Dedicated Servers. WHM (Web Host Manager) is available on Linux Reseller, VPS and Dedicated Servers.
    Plesk is available on Windows Shared and Dedicated Servers.

    File Names
    Linux files are case sensitive while Windows files are not.

    For example:
    On a Linux server, home.html and Home.html are different names.
    On a Windows server, home.html, Home.html and HOME.HTML are all the same name.

    Server Security
    Although many people consider Linux to be more secure than Windows, both operating systems are equally secure. Security really depends more upon the server setup and the administrators running the server. All of eukhost managed servers are maintained with the latest security and performance patches and configured for optimal security.

    Cost
    In terms of affordability, both Windows and Linux reseller hosting is pocket-friendly if you are ready to reseller hosting services. However, Linux is a cheaper alternative as it is free. You will not have to pay for the actual operating system.
    For Windows, the cost is slightly higher because of the operating system cost and the additional features that you will be opting for.

    Linux Hosting

    Being open sourced, Linux hosting is widely accepted by developers due to its scalability. It is easily the best choice for hosting platforms. Linux hosting allows for greater stability compared to Windows hosting. This is because of its open-sourced structure. This means it can be adapted to any environment.

    Being open sourced also makes Linux hosting an excellent choice for increased security. The cost for hosting Linux based websites is low. Windows hosting, on the other hand, needs you to pay a license fee to let Windows servers run. The downside, however, is the learning curve. It is easy to learn the system, only once you learn its command lines.

    Windows Hosting

    Easily considered the most used OS’ in history, Windows and PC’s are synonymous. Going by the name of Windows Server, the OS is a key component of Windows hosting. Linux hosting though being mature with regards to security and customization would triumph almost any discussion. But, Windows has managed to hold its own as well.

    Windows hosting is much easier to set up. Its configuration is also easier compared to Linux hosting. Window’s .NET framework is easier to use. Applications developed over this framework are easier to run in a Windows hosting environment.

    Since Linux reseller hosting services are free, you will not need to pay for the operating system. On the other hand, Windows reseller hosting costs slightly more due to the added convenience and operating system costs.

Since Linux-based hosting is more popular, it has more of the features web designers expect. So unless you have websites that need specific Windows applications, Linux is the preferred choice.

    Linux hosting has been used longer than Windows hosting and that’s why it is much easier to troubleshoot. Its trust factor is also high. However, Windows hosting is also advanced enough to handle streamlined development and deployment of the database. This is partly due to its licensed applications.

    Linux reseller hosting will suit you if you are an admin or a developer and are more concerned about cost, security and stability. On the other hand, Windows reseller hosting will be apt for you if you are looking to develop more web apps, prefer . NET compatibility, and require easy setup.
