Why choose Linux Hosting?

Unlike Windows operating system, Linux hosting is able to be more flexible and is much easier to control, not to mention licensing issues where Linux is free and Windows comes with a price. Take Cpanel for a moment. Cpanel is a control panel built for hosting, but works on Linux. This is probably one of the more popular control panels in the industry and works well with Linux. You can have multiple FTP accounts, offer a jail version which is a VPS oriented which gives root access and still under a shared environment. This is really not so secure and sometimes not possible under the Windows architecture.

On the whole, Linux hosting is cheaper, some say faster and easier to use, especially since people are developing easy to use graphic user interface for technophobes that believe they are incapable of working with computers. There are no huge differences from one OS to another, but because the Linux environment has been embraced to much, usually, if you want it, you can get it. In the opinions of pro-Linux users, Linux is more stable and does not require system shutdowns every time an upgrade, patch implementation or install is implemented. Again, this reduces downtime and shows the resilience of next generation hosting.
