Choosing windows or Linux server

[skyvia]

At the time of purchasing a hosting as first you have to choose the platform of the hosting like Windows and Linux. Generally Linux Hosting is far cheaper then Windows. but this is completely dependent on your website development if your site is built using ASP then you have to choose windows server and using PHP then you have to choose Linux server. Many windows server supports Linux also for this you have to read their manual or package includes.

And if you are pretty unsure about the platform, then you can go with Windows hosting service, because the fact is Windows platform supports many Linux applications such as you can run PHP, MySQL in windows environment as well. On the other side, you cannot run ASP.NET, and MS SQL Server in Linux environment.....
