f it's straight up HTML with no need for
ASP Support or anything of that sort -- Linux/*nix is the way to go in my opinion.
The only time I see a need for Windows hosting is if they are in dire need of .
ASP NET support or some other Windows only product.

I find linux hosting better as compared to windows because of its features. It is far more advanced to the other one.

The biggest advantage of using Linux by most of people is the free softwares and applications that can be install on your server or system without any license. Also, linux may seem to be hard in intial stages, but once you use, you get more familiar with it also, it offers more security than that of windows.

Windows Or Linux Hosting ; The hosting is simply which operating system they run on. It's like running a Windows computer and a Mac. You can do the same things on them e.g. Word Processing but the computers work in slightly different ways.

Hello,

Another important decision to be made when looking for a web host is choosing windows or linux hosting. There is no special rule, you generally choose what best suits your needs. I am going to outline the basic differences between linux and windows hosting.

If you are new and your site generates revenue with static HTML pages, you have software you are likely to be located on a Linux server. This is the absolute best solution for you, because Linux hosting is cheaper, almost never need to dig more advanced features. Control systems in a non-issue. All you have to do is be a good host.
