Which to choose? What is the difference between hosting on the above operating systems?
Shared Hosting is usually available on a Linux or Windows platform. If you are a novice, you most likely will not require Windows hosting and you should select to host your site on Redhat Linux. The only time you would need to use Windows hosting is when you are using the specific Windows applications such as Access, ASP or ASP.NET. At ServersAndDomains, there is no difference in price between these two platforms. Microsoft FrontPage may be used on Windows platform only.
