VPS, windows or linux?

January 16, 2010 windows vps hosting 2 Comments

Thinking about taking a VPS and i have the options of windows or linux.
I have various sites to install and for most of them it does not matter to me which i use. However i also wish to offer a free and aid hosting service. For end users, which is best, and what are the differences?

I would go with Linux. Linux has a lot of free software compared to Windows. There’s a control panel called cPanel that only runs on Linux so having it installed will definitely land you some sales. It’s easy to use and powerful.

With Windows, you’ll not only need to pay extra for the OS but also for MSSQL, IIS, etc. Some free software does run on Windows but it is not as stable.

    Linux, you can make a script to automatically start programs back up if they crash, you cant do that with windows.

    Hope This Helps! =D
