Reliable Web Hosting Services
Whether you're looking for a dependable web hosting solution for your business, organization or personal website, we can help. ServuPro now offers both Linux Web Hosting and Windows Web Hosting, and we have several hosting plans on each server platform to choose from. Each of our web hosting plans come loaded with features, yet we've worked hard to keep our prices very competitive.
Linux Web Hosting vs. Windows Web Hosting
Trying to decide between Linux and Windows for your website hosting? Choosing the server platform depends on many things, such as personal preference and the format of your web pages. For example, if you plan to use ASP or ASP.net, then you'll probably want to use Windows Web Hosting.
Sometimes when people are just getting started with website hosting they assume that the operating system of their desktop computer or the computer that is used to create the web pages must match the server platform. Actually, web pages can be created on a Windows machine and hosted on a Linux server or vice versa with no problems at all.
One way to decide is considering performance and security issues. Although Linux has the reputation of being "more secure" than Windows, with proper administration there really is very little difference. Our server administrators maintain the highest level of security on both groups of servers. There is some data to suggest that Linux can handle higher numbers of processes running simultaneously much better than Windows, and that Windows stability decreases faster when more processes are running... but again, we watch such activity and perform system upgrades and expansions based on such statistics.
Therefore, we recommend you make the choice based on your actual needs. If your site is very basic, mostly composed of static HTML pages, it makes no difference at all. If your site has a lot of dynamic or interactive content, then the choice becomes more important. Certainly, if you website uses ASP or ASP.net, then Windows Hosting is definitely your choice.
