linux or windows
The most common asked question is - Do we need Windows Hosting or Linux Hosting?
The answer to that question, depends on what your website is meant to accomplish. There is no question that Windows 2000 has a far greater degree of expandability and adaptability in regards to important website components such databases or integration with your desktop PC components. However, those items come with a price - Windows is less stable than Linux and very little freeware or low cost software additions that you can add to your web site to increase its effectiveness such as: hit counters, guest books, voting scripts, quiz/survey forms, and web site form mailers. Linux has literally thousands of free software that you can download and install on your website to spice up your content of the dynamic aspects of your site's content
