We all know Linux is an open-source operating system. Linux is the world most popular operating system. Now the question is what is Open source?

Open source means source code of an open source program can be updated by anyone without getting any license to do the same.

Linux OS is free, that is the reason Linux hosting is cheaper than Windows hosting.

Which one is best for you between Windows hosting and Linux hosting?

Both types of server are good. its all depends on your website requirements, yes windows servers is secure compared to Linux.

But most of the websites are the host on Linux server as it is cheap and there are also more features in it compared to windows.

Here I shared important and basic features of Linux Hosting.

1) Portable
2) Multi-User
3) Multiprogramming
4) Hierarchical File System

Portable: Portable means the software supports different types of hardware.

Multi-User: System resources like memory, ram, application programs can access multiple users at a time.

Multiprogramming: Multiple applications can be run simultaneously at one time.

Hierarchical File System: Standard file structure supports system files, user files arrange in a hierarchical way.

Advantages of Linux Hosting

1) Linux hosting providing you more flexibility and it is an open source technology like Apache, PHP, and MySQL.
2) Linux hosting is one of the best cheap options for your starting business.
3) Security setting in Linux hosting highly secure and advanced compared to a Windows.

Additionally, the two web hosting services have the following different servers and control panels:

Plesk can be used for Windows Shared and Dedicated Servers.
The number of web hosting companies available in the market, which are new to this web hosting industry and most of them is not able to stay long in the industry because of high competition.

So when you selecting a web hosting provider for your business. we need to more careful to pick the right one who provides best-hosting services at an affordable rate.

Linux Hosting: Linux is an open-source language that gives the real upper hand for the developers to customize the operating system according to their needs. In addition to that, here are the few factors that made the Linux Operating System ahead of Windows OS. Unlike windows, users don’t need to pay and fee for gaining a license. Owing to this, host providers will charge low for their Linux hosting plans when compared with windows hosting plans.
