Comparing the differences between Linux web hosting and Windows web hosting will make it easier to decide which web hosting is right for you. For example, Linux web hosting requires you to use a command line interface to perform tasks, while Windows web hosting has the advantage of being easier to use because the interface is similar to that of a desktop computer.

If you need to use Visual Basic or .NET programming languages, or if you need to build your database using Microsoft Access or SQL, you should definitely choose Windows web hosting.

Meanwhile, many users choose Linux web hosting for stability and security reasons. Linux has the advantage of rarely requiring system reboots or restarts after website or server updates, keeping your site up and running, and is much more difficult for hackers to exploit.

We recommend that you also compare detailed specifications such as language, database, and version supported by each product.
