If your looking for website hosting you’ll likely come accross several platforms, the most popular two are “windows” and “linux”. Windows is a server operating system, Windows Server by microsoft supports most of the latest technologies such as ASP, ASP.net as standard with free addons to work with PHP. Linux is another operating system you may of heard of, its a open source popular operating system, linux is ideal for PHP based websites & MySQL.

Windows hosting is usually more expensive, as Windows operating system costs, and almost all features that come with Windows hosting such as Micrsoft SQL all cost the hosting company hundreds of pounds/dollars a month!

Linux hosting servers are usually minimum cost to the hosting company, so these are usually very low cost as overheads are very low. If your looking for a linux based website hosting plan then we would suggest looking for cpanel hosting as cpanel is a excellent user control panel.
