Affordable Web Hosting

Linux is the most popular OS, used by 70% of the servers as it is very easy to manage and its generally good for opensource platforms like Wordpress, PHP, MySQL, etc. Hence if you want to go with any opensource applications then go with Linux. But if you prefer any Microsoft apps then go with windows.

Out of all factors, technology is the most important in determining the difference between Linux and Windows hosting. Linux uses custom software and supports most programming languages, while Windows uses specific Microsoft software to run and manage data.

Additionally, Linux is a free, open-source system. Web hosting service providers do not need to pay licensing fees for using Linux as their hosting servers' OS. Linux is most preferred for WordPress sites due to its PHP and MySQL database compatibility.

However, if you intend to use development tools such as the .NET framework, Windows hosting is better.

If you are looking to create an e-commerce website or any other complex web environment and if you are compatible with PHP, CGI, or Pearl, then Linux shared is highly recommended. It is also cost-effective.

To select the right Linux shared hosting plan for your business, you must understand the needs of your website.

1. A starter package is a go-to option if your project is at the beginner stage and requires limited website storage and email requirements.

2. If you have a large-sized project & your storage, bandwidth, websites, etc., requirements are high; you can go with performance & business plans.
