One of the most difficult decisions any new comer will need to make is which web hosting platform would he or she wants their server to be on. The two most frequently used choices are Linux and Windows for web servers.
FTP commands and control panel – Windows and Linux servers do well with these, but because some of the programs are designed for a specific server, some of the commands can be different between the different operating systems. That’s the reason why occasionally you will get error messages running some of the FTP commands on your server.
-Support- the support for the Linux platform pales in comparison to that offered by Windows and is also sometimes more expensive and frequently more limited in its capabilities. Linux is running on much specific technologies as compared to Windows which is much more generic.
* Security and reliability – As Windows is widely used for home PC, there is a tendency that the security features incorporated for this operating system is not as high technology as those for Linux, which are mostly used by developers and system engineers only. The probability of successful hack attack on Windows OS is a lot higher than Linux OS may also be contributed to their end users as people tend to look for flaws in these common systems.
Performance- Linux servers are prepackaged in such a way that their performance reviews are almost always high. Linux plans are more specifically designed for their target customers. Windows is usually guilty of using this package that seems to think that all users have the same requirements.
- Upgrading, if you plan to upgrade from Linux to Windows at some point then you can expect this upgrade to go easily and smoothly, you can go from Linux to Windows without much hassle at all. However, if you have started out with Windows you will have a series of immense difficulties in store for you if you try and change to Linux.
