Windows vs Linux - Choosing The Right Hosting Platform |
Home | |
| Many discussions will frame the Windows vs Linux argument
in terms of, "Which hosting platform is better to host sites?"
The actual decision of which platform you are in need, "Which is
better suited to my needs?" Your website's "needs" will be
determined by what specific functions you want it to perform, combined
with what programming language and the type of database you choose to
enable those functions. The main thing to remember is that your choice of hosting
platform will describe the type of software and the kind of applications
and services that your website will utilize. You cannot say that Windows 2k has more expandability and
adaptability in concern to important website components such databases or
integration with your desktop PC components. However, those items come
with a price - Windows is not very good stable than Unix and very little
freeware or low cost software additions that you can add to your web site
to increase its effectiveness such as: hit counters, voting scripts, and
web site form mailers, mail solutions.
