Linux v/s Windows

[Viki01]

Which hosting is better for you?
Linux OR Windows !!!

[watson123]

The flavors of Linux are referred to as distributions (often shortened to "distros"). All the Linux distributions released around the same time frame will use the same kernel (the guts of the Operating System). They differ in the add-on software provided, GUI, install process, price, documentation and technical support. Both Linux and Windows come in desktop and server editions.

I would say before choosing linux or windows we must have a look on advantages and disadvantages of both I agree that Linux-based hosting is definately the most popular. It is usually less expensive than Windows, But, Linux Hosting have some disadvantages. the main disadvantages of Linux based hosting is that they are unable to accommodate some windows applications and the coding conversions. This is considered to be the major disadvantage of linux web hosting. In my opinion windows is much better then linux and people lovve to choose windows over linux read about Why people use Windows VPS Hosting service?

Both are very effective but i prefer with linux.

[DanielChew]

The difference for both OS is little, but majority will be on Linux platform.

Linux is cheaper and I don't think it's better.

Both windows and linux have their own share of advantages and disadvantages. But I have to gree to the point that linux based hosting is mainly used by people.

[miketyson1]

Hi I am totally agree with @jairofuller721 that both windows and linux hosting have their own importance. Its all depends upon a once need.

Linux is the best operating system.

[teena log]

Linux has been widely considered the best OS for Web servers. It's typically found to be the most reliable, stable and efficient system and, as such, it's commonly used for the demanding environment of Web and mail servers.Also a web site designed to be hosted on a Linux based web server can be hosted on a Windows web server easily, where as the reverse is not always true.Windows is more popular as all we know.. Linux is the best option for security.. So for security reason linux is best and no one able to hack a linux machine .

Both are very successful and nice operating system. They provide excellent security and as well as in Linux operating system we need not install any type ant-virus. But it is very hard to understand so i prefer windows operating system because of it's user friendly features.
