Linux Versus Windows Server Webhosting
Posted by: admin : Category: cPanel & WHM, Linux Server Hosting, Tips & Tricks, Windows Server Hosting
If choosing the right webhost already gives you headache, what more if you will have to choose between a Linux and Windows-based hosting server?
Let us enumerate the PROs and CONs between the two Operating Systems:
Linux Servers:
- Since Linux is FREE, webhosting servers running on this OS flavor will cost lesser than a Windows-based one;
- Linux has a rock solid core — you will never see the BSOD on a machine running this OS. “Server Stability” is the keyword here;
- There are tons of free apps that you may install in a Linux server.
Windows Server:
- Since the Windows operating system is created by software giant Microsoft — it ain’t FREE;
- If a particular app that you wish to run in your website is designed for a Windows-based machine, then choose your webhost account to run this OS;
- If you’re familiar with the Windows Desktop environment, there will be no learning curve at all to manage your website’s server running on this OS.

I would prefer Linux Servers, stable and easier to maintain.
