Web hosting is used by all types and sizes of business for various projects and applications.

Uses can range from high end ecommerce websites (buying and selling large catalogues of items online) down to hobby websites (sites about your favourite thing).

You will continually hear debates from all types of customers about which operating system is best for web hosting. In our opinion, it largely comes down to what you want to do with your shared hosting package. If your plan is to run PHP, Perl or MySQL then Linux is the better option. If your preference is to run ASP, MS SQL or any other windows based scripting, then Windows is best.

Various methods exist to allow Windows Servers to run Linux based scripts, and to allow Linux Servers to run Windows based scripts. However, there are obvious compatibility benefits to running scripts on matching operating systems i.e. Linux on Linux, Windows on Windows. Base your Linux vs. Windows decision on how you plan on building your website.
