Linux or Windows Hosting - which is right for me?

Deciding which plan-type is right for you is often a difficult decision. We offer a choice between Windows-based and Linux-based web hosting platforms. Both are very reliable and widely used platforms, and each has its own advantages.

Windows hosting is often mistaken as a "must pick" only because the operating system you are running may be Windows. In fact, the majority of all websites on the Internet are hosted on the Linux platform, so most websites you have been visiting are likely to be hosted on Linux servers.If you have Windows on your machine, you can still manage a website hosted on a Linux server and also browse any website hosted on a Linux server.

You only need Windows-based hosting if you need Microsoft-specific applications, such as ASP, ASP.Net, MS SQL Server or MS Access databases.

If you do not need any of these Microsoft-specific applications - or if you don't even know what they are, then the better choice will always be to host your website a Linux server. Linux servers host the majority of all websites on the Internet and will provide you with highly reliable hosting services.

Depending on your individual web site needs our IT consultants can help you choose the right server platform to host your web.

If you need full control of your web site and do your own design we have the best solution available!
