<<Back Frequently Asked Questions : 305  Should I host my website on a Windows or Linux platform?It is important to note, that this question has nothing to do with what operating system you use. The question relates to the server operating system, and you can access linux whether you are using Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Mac OSX. So back to the question at hand..., well our Linux hosting is FREE, so if you want to use Windows you will need to pay for the plan. It is $50/year for a 50MB hosting plan on a windows server. To change your hosting account, just log a support ticket and we will help you make the switch. So what is the difference? Well Linux provides a secure and reliable environment perfect for most of your hosting needs, but sometimes you want to take advantage of some Windows applications such as Microsoft Access, and ASP scripting, and for that you might want to choose the Windows platform. If your website is developed using PHP, Linux is preferred.
