Windows hosting is often mistaken as a "must choose" only because the operating system you are used to running may be Windows. In fact, the majority of all websites on the Internet are hosted on the Linux platform, so most websites you have been visiting are likely to be hosted on Linux servers.

If you have Windows on your machine, you can still manage a website hosted on a Linux server and also browse any website hosted on a Linux server. You only need Windows-based hosting if you need Microsoft-specific applications, such as ASP, ASP.Net, MS SQL Server or MS Access databases. If you need coldfusion hosting, then only our windows based hosting plans support coldfusion at this time.

If you do not need any of these Microsoft-specific applications - or if you don't even know what they are, then the better choice will always be to host your website on a Linux server. Linux servers host the majority of all websites on the Internet and will provide you with highly reliable hosting services.
