What hosting to choose: Windows or Linux?

Let's take a look at main differences between hosting on Linux and Windows.
 
Linux and Windows are two completely different types of operating systems. Linux is a popular operating system for web servers. Therefore, Linux has many different features for web designers. Let's define

the main differences between Linux и Windows hosting.

 
Applications that run only on Windows:
 
  • ASP Classic;
  • ASP.NET;
  • MSSQL (Microsoft SQL Server);
  • MS Access (Microsoft Access);
  • Visual Basic Development;
  • C#;
  • Remote Desktop;
 
Applications on Linux:
 
  • SSH;
  • Scripts or applications that require special Apache modules.
 
Windows and Linux servers using different control panel: cPanel, WHM — Linux; Plesk — Windows.
 
Linux has higher sensitivity to file names.
 
Though many people think Linux has a higher level of security, it is not true, they are the same.
 
So, in this case

choice of hosting

depends solely on the type of applications you use and the sum you plan to spend (Windows hosting is often more expensive than Linux).
