When it comes to web site hosting, Linux is widely considered to be the most reliable and efficient operating system. Linux servers seldom need rebooting, unlike windows servers which need frequent reboots. Keep in mind that just because you might use Windows on your home or office computer, it doesn’t mean that you need windows hosting - most of the websites you use every day are hosted on Linux servers. Websites can be built using almost any web authoring and publishing tool. Advantages of Linux Web Site Hosting- Linux Web Servers have a reputation for reliability. Linux doesn't need to be rebooted regularly to maintain performance levels and doesn't freeze up or slow down over time due to memory leaks. Continuous up-times of hundreds of days (up to a year or more) are not uncommon.
- Linux web servers consistently outperform other servers, and can handle large numbers of users and simultaneous connections without being adversly affected.
- Linux is open source, as are most of the applications that run on it such as Apache webserver, PHP and MYSQL. Because of this, Linux Hosting tends to be significantly cheaper than Windows hosting.
- Sites can be built using PHP and MYSQL and there are literally thousands of free scripts and programs available on the internet for producing database driven sites, weblogs, content managemet systems, forums, e-commerce sites and more. Because these programs are open source, many web hosts provide them as part of the linux hosting package, with easy installation.
 Disadvantages of Linux Web Site Hosting- If you need to use Microsoft Active Server Pages, or Visual Basic, or need to connect to existing Microsoft applications such as an Access database, then you will need to use Windows hosting rather than Linux hosting
- Ermm.. thats it!
