Benefits of Linux Web HostingWhen it comes to web hosting, you usually get a choice between windows and linux web hosting. While there’s technically no difference between the two as far as the end result is concerned, there are a few reasons why Linux Web Hosting is a little bit better. The only disadvantage right now is that you can’t use frontpage extensions, but who uses frontpage these days? The benefits of linux web hosting, on the other hand, are numerous:


Cheaper


It all boils down to the fact that windows web hosting requires an installation of windows, which is commercial software that costs money, while linux web hosting requires an installation of any flavor of linux, which is free open source software.

So in general, linux web hosting is usually cheaper than windows web hosting.
