I am absolutely sure that that Linux web hosting will be more reasonable to choose. I highly recommend you to check serverpoint.com dedicated server offers, because you will find cheaper and more resourceful dedicated server configuration. You will also get the second month for free.

I second serverpoint.com as this company has provided many dedicated servers which are of different configurations and prices are modest.
One more company is worth your attention is webintellects.com, their dedicated servers are reliable and stable and you may bet one from them that will meet your needs.

There is no denying the fact that the platform choice mainly depends on the content you are going to host. Globaltap.com is reliable web hosting provider and you will receive great hosting and support services. You will get what you pay for. So, just contact them directly and the will assist you in making the right choice of platform.

Check on the disk space allocation, bandwidth, security features, traffic flow, e-mail storage capacity, and the kind of multiple domain accounts. I am sure that globaltap.com is reliable web hosting provider which will meet your expectations on favorable terms. You know, Linux and FreeBSD are almost the same and think that it will be more productive if you contact their friendly support and ask this.

Hi!
FreeBSD is the system of choice for high performance network applications. FreeBSD will outperform other systems when running on equivalent hardware. The largest and busiest public server on the Internet, at ftp.freesoftware.com, uses FreeBSD to serve more than 1.2TB/day of downloads. FreeBSD is used by Yahoo!, Qwest and many others as their main server OS because of its ability to handle heavy network traffic with high performance and rock solid reliability.

Linux performs well for most applications, however the performance is not optimal under heavy network load. The network performance of Linux is 20-30% below the capacity of FreeBSD running on the same hardware 2. The situation has improved somewhat recently and the 2.4 release of the Linux kernel will introduce a new virutual memory system based on the same concepts as the FreeBSD VM system. Since both operating systems are open source, beneficial technologies are shared and for this reason the performance of Linux and FreeBSD is rapidly converging.
