Default What is better Linux or Windows shared hosting to choose?

I wanna know your thoughts what platform better is Linux or Windows.
I need to buy shared hosting account to host my personal web site and neowebspace.com was recommended to me as a stable host which offers nice Linux and Windows web hosting plans at affordable price.
So, what should I choose, Linux or Windows?
Any discounts on their services?

You know, the platform choice mainly depends on the applications you are going to host. If you are planning to host asp.net, you have to choose windows. Over 95% of applications can be hosted on Linux platform.
As for neowebspace.com, it will be good place to order hosting because this company has nice reputation for providing work which is based on quality.
So, I decided to find discounts for you:
the code 'SPACE' will give you 20% off the price on shared hosting deals.

really depends on the applications you want to support. There is no better. Both are stable and can very secure if you maintain them properly.

Hello friends

One of the most confusing decisions someone new to web hosting will have to make is which platform their server should be on. There are a number of different choices out there but the main two are Linux and Windows web servers. There are also a lot of sources of information about hosting, but the majority of them are tainted by the author's biased personal opinion unfortunately confusing the issue. Having just put in some solid hours researching the topic I have come to the conclusion that in general it quite probably does not matter which server you use. For the majority of people it will be far more important to choose a really good web host than to worry about the server-type that they implement.Microsoft developed and owns the Windows operating system. Linux is open source and generally free. This means it can often be more expensive to set up and run a Windows server. However, this fact doesn't really affect you unless you are actually setting up a server for yourself and if you're reading this article then I'm guessing that it's safe to assume you're not. This article is going to offer information for those trying to decide which hosting company to go with. The cost involved in running a server does not affect the cost of a web-hosting package as much as you may think. Despite the general opinion that Windows servers are more expensive to run, buying a Windows hosting package can often turn out to be just as cheap or even cheaper than an equivalent Linux hosting package.

Thanks

Linux is obviously stable and reliable but some compatibility issues in it so that`s why most of the people use windows

Linux is best because reliability and windows have a countless features but very weak as far reliability concerns
