Which OS to host website?

[kai_uk]

The majority of websites are hosted on a linux based OS such as debian, largely due to Microsoft having a bad reputation for security. Recently IIS has improved and is capable of hosting websites securely, should we take a chance with IIS or stick with linux?

Hosting a website with Windows OS is not a bad idea. It too has it's own benefits. I have also hosted my website with Windows platform for past 6 years. I have not faced any problem so far. I got best deals on Windows based hosting from TheWebPole.com at low cost with 24/7 customer support. You also choose a best web host to get hassle free hosting service.

It depends on the type of web applications you wanna run. If they are based on VB or .net, windows hosting is required. Time changes, new updates are available. Windows hosting is as safe as earlier. Host your website with SoftsysHosting!

I agree with your post it depends on the type of your web application.

You can also choose windows for hosting, but it is not a good idea actually, you should not use windows hosting until it is must. Linux hosting is a good option.
