Linux or Windows?

[AccurateHub]

I go for Windows if it is for a Game Server, but everything else goes on Linux (CentOS preferably)

Linux,

Free and good.
Only problem is allot of shared servers are linux, and normally hosting companies put as many users as they can on one server.
This makes the system much slower.

It depends what your'e sites needed...

Yeah, Linux is your best bet. You don't see many companies offering Windows hosting. I'd go with CentOS 5 as it has the best compatibility with cPanel.

t's a matter of personal preference. I use windows on a daily basis, but I think Linux is a lot more fun to use. I don't have a mac, so I wouldn't have an opinion on that, but they must be good to have such a loyal following.

[dewlance]

linux is open source and also i think microsoft use linux in their site.



Easy to use, secure,etc but Windows is use for ASP hosting and others

Linux is customizable in a way that Windows is not. For one, the user interface, while similar in concept, varies in detail from distribution to distribution. For example, the task bar may default to being on the top or the bottom. Also, there are many special purpose versions of Linux above and beyond the full blown distributions described above. For example, NASLite is a version of Linux that runs off a single floppy disk (since revised to also boot from a CD) and converts an old computer into a file server. This ultra small edition of Linux is capable of networking, file sharing and being a web server.

totally depends on what is the server being used for, simple hosting a lot of people go for linux,

[newman9800]

Actually it depends on which coding language is used to develop a site.I believe Linux web hosting is probably the most used server,because it is support PHP and MYSQL perfectly windows.

Why not do both? Rackspace cloud offers a hybrid so you can use both Windows and Linux on same account. Pretty cool.
