Windows Vs Linux Hosting - Which One Is Better?

Which operating system is better? Windows or Linux

? I am not going to answer this question definitely. I don't believe there is one simple answer as well as I can't provide a "this OS is better" statement. Windows and Linux have its own advantages and disadvantages. People usually say that Linux platform is more reliable and stable. Linux users and programmers are usually fanatics of their operating system.

On the other hand, Windows OS doesn't have so much fanatics, or they do not show themselves so much. This may be explained by the fact that Windows was develped by Microsoft, and not by many independent programmers.

Windows and Linux Performance

If we compare Windows against Linux, we can note one thing: Linux can handle more processes that runs simultaneously at the same time being much better than Windows. Windows becomes unstable when running many processer on a single machine.


This might be a very good reason to choose Linux, but in my opinion, a server can perform very well regardless of the operating system: Windows or Linux. Its all up to system administrators and server hardware.

Linux is always free. Windows costs money!

There is very popular opinion that Linux flourishes because of its open-source. Many programmers work hard to improve Linux' quality. Mainly, Linux operating system is always free.

But Windows (as well as Linux) is a global and powerful product developed by many programmers from Microsoft. But the difference is that Windows programmers are paid for their work by Microsoft. Microsoft Windows operating system is paid, so every hosting company that wants to provide customers with Windows hosting should buy one or more Windows Server licenses.

So, what is the decision?

The right decision between Windows and Linux should be made based on your website and other needs. The right decision should be made base on the technology your web site is going to use.

There are many technologies you can use while writing your website application.

There are such technologies as PHP, Perl, Pythod, ASP, ASP.NET, Java and more. ASP, ASP.NET and PHP deserve special attention due to their huge popularity and functionality. PHP is open source project and can be used for free. ASP and ASP.NET are the Microsoft products and work only with Windows. However, PHP can be used on both Windows and Linux. But mainly PHP is used on Linux.

Making the correct decision


Microsoft Windows is an operating system and a hosting platform that has one big advantage: you can use ASP and ASP.NET. If you are going to use ASP and/or ASP.NET for building your web application, then Windows hosting is the right choice for you at the moment!

And, you can easily use PHP on both Windows and Linux. For example, if you want to migrate from ASP.NET to PHP you will not need to change your operation system - you can still use Windows!

Going back to Linux: while you can't use ASP on Linux, this OS is the most popular for web hosting servers. The stability of Windows and Linux depends on system administrators, not on operating system.
