  1. How To Choose Between Windows Hosting and Linux Hosting Truly speaking, there are thousands of companies in operation as far as website hosting in India is concerned. The majority of these companies provide Windows hosting as well as Linux hosting plans. Windows plans are normally priced more due to the license expenses enforced by Microsoft. So, the question remains: how can you determine which one is more suitable for you - Windows or Linux? Read this article to make your task easier. Windows operating systems are widely used in approximately 95 percent of all personal computers in the world. Therefore, they are the most preferred option among all those novices who are looking for cheap web space for their websites. However, in the world of web servers, Windows is lagging behind. People usually opt for a Windows hosting plan when they have their websites developed using Microsoft .NET technologies that are unavailable on Linux platforms. As a matter of fact, if you require ASP with no .NET features, nearly all Linux plans do not extend support for it. Similarly, Access databases are exclusively obtainable with a Windows plan. They are unable to run on a Linux OS. If you require an enterprise class database, there are several options that are compatible with a Linux platform. However, if you have the requirement for Microsoft's MSSQL database, a Windows plan must be your ultimate choice. On the other hand, if you want to operate an enterprise class website, Linux based systems are the most suitable ones since they offer all the important services to run such a site for free. Several websites with voluminous traffic on the internet boast superior quality infrastructure provided by Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP or simply LAMP. PHP performs more effectively on a Linux sever in comparison to a Windows server. Nevertheless, unless your PHP scripts experience a heavy load, you cannot notice the difference. In most cases, cheap Linux hosting plans are a minimum of 20 percent cheaper than Windows plans. If you don't require any of the aforesaid Windows attributes, Linux is a perfect choice for your web hosting in India. There are also reseller hosting plans available for both the platforms.

  2. In case of Microsoft based technologies, Windows plans are normally your finest bet. For all other technologies, Linux plans will mostly perform very well. Due to the cost benefits generally associated with Linux, such hosting is the apt option for you. Hence, weigh your requirements carefully and choose the right platform.
