QUOTE(YungOdo @ Jan 4 2008, 11:29 PM)  Okay i recently bought a godaddy hosting account. Now my question is whats the difference between the Linux OS hosting, and the Windows OS hosting? Kind of self explanatory. On the 1st one the server runs on a Linux OS and a webserver like apache while on the other one will run on windows-based technology like Advanced server 2003 or something like that.

Yeah, the software used for the server and the actualy OS are different. Also, different features could be present on each. Linux is a more secure OS for servers and probably includes PHP hosting. Windows is a little less secure, but ASP hosting could be offered. I would look at the packages for each OS.

Aside from the obvious (Linux hosting runs a Linux-based OS (often Debian), while a Windows host usually runs a Windows Server version), there are differences in the features you get too. Both should offer PHP, MySQL and all that stuff, and you will usually find they both run Apache as their web server. However, if you want to use ASP, you will need to go for Windows hosting. There are Linux 'ports' of it that claim to work, but as far as I know they are not really that good at the moment. The advantage of a Linux server is that you get better security and reliability compared to a Windows server. You will also find a lot more of the advanced features on Linux hosting, that aren't available on Windows hosting.

Windows hosting means that your hosting server is run on Windows platform like windows 2003, xp etc if it is Linux hosting then it runs on any of the linux platforms. the web hosting provided my trap17 is linux hosting. linux hosting has many advantages over windows hosting. technologies like jsp wont work in windows platform. but, almost most of the technologies or languages supported by windows is also supported by linux hosting servers. moreover, linux is much more safer and down time is less. people go in for windows platform because of ease of maintaining and configuring the servers. it gives a more user frindly environment. but windows hosting very costly compared to linux hosting. i would personally recomend you linux hosting. good luck!

I would get Linux hosting myself, since it's reliable and things like MySQL are offered, and also because I don't really need ASP.

Asp.net Hosting On Linux Servers?
(1) Hi, I was searching the free ASP.NET hosting, but I didn't found any really good hosts. However,
I found lots of good free hosting sites(like trap17) without ASP.NET support. Now I'm wondering,
why there is only few free ASP.NET hosts with such poor plans? You may say, that ASP.NET requires
Windows OS, but it isn't true, there is such tool named mono, which allows run NET technologies
on linux OS and it is free(as far as I know). Then why hosts doesn't interested in ASP.NET? A

actually be an upgrade. I laughed at: QUOTE Enhances support for high-definition (HD)

If Mac Osx Is Best With Hardware, Where Does Linux Lie?
(5) Here's a good question: Is Linux better at utilizing hardware efficiently to produce optimal
performance out of your components. I hear a lot about Mac OSX being so much better with Intel
processors and yada yada, but I don't know if this is true or if a bunch of Mac elitists said a
bunch of crap and ran with it. I don't think there are actual comparable benchmarks, but if
there are, where does Linux lie in the hardware efficiency race? (Or is it dependent on which Linux
distribution it is, like how XP still beats Vista in performance?)....
Zymic Hosting

all of your hosting accounts are linked to your Zymic account. They have PHP Safe Mode on though, so
you might have some limited PHP features. I do not know about support because I have not really
suffered much downtime and haven't needed it. You are able to have unlimited h....
What Made You Switch To Linux?
(20) I first tried Linux a few years ago, not because I was completely against Windows or anything like
that, but just because I had some free time on my hands. I started off with Mandrake 9.0 which was
very user friendly and Windows-like. After reading through a bunch of message boards and learning
which distros are good for what, I soon realized my current distro was great for Linux noobs. So
then I decided to try something a little more advanced like Slackware which I knew had a steep
learning curve. Since then I've been using Slackware as my main OS and couldn't ....
Start Multiple Programs With One Shortcut

Reducing Windows Vista Start Menu Programs Response Time.
How to do it. (4) If you have been using Microsoft Windows Vista for quite some time, you would have noticed that

time of your start menu program folder, sometimes up to one second or more before the programs
listed in a particular start menu folder is displayed. Worst of all, if you are trying to launch a
program from you start menu which is within another start menu prrograms folder. Well, I have found
a way to bypass this very annoying thing in Windows Vista. I have about 98 start menu en....
Ubuntu Linux As Free Operating System Alternative
linux operating system (46) About three years ago I decided to learn how to use Linux and after a lot of posts on a forum I
tried Ubuntu Linux as it was recommended as a good first Linux distro. Ubuntu is not the easiest
Linux distro to use but with its unmatched forum community support it is one of the easiest to learn
to use. One of the problems with learning Linux is that a lot of users have an attitude that Linux
should be a free Windows knock off which it is not. Ubuntu is build on a Linix core or kernel and is
a different Open Source and free as in to use operating system. This brings us to t....

Memory Trick To Speedup Windows Xp
(28) Here is one of the not so known method for free-up the RAM to make the Windows run faster. When
programs run in Windows XP, they frequently use what are called DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries). These
contain shared programming instructions and other files like icons, graphics, sounds, etc. that
different applications use in order to run. DLLs are stored in RAM whenever the applications load
them; when you quit a program, XP is supposed to release the DLL from memory. But some DLLs can get
stuck. Here is the method to mend this up. Step 1: You can force Windows XP to re....
