Woodward  +  700663 Fri, 24 Apr 09 02:53 PM I am not a techy guy at all but I have a couple of simple websites I play around with. I was looking to experiment with another website and when I was looking into external hosting options, I came across two. What is the difference between Linux hosting and Windows Hosting? Is there a real difference in speed or use? Are there certain things you can and cannot do with Linux hosting compared to Windows? I don't have the time nor expertise to run my own server so the site would be on a hosting company (like GoDaddy). Is there a difference with maintenance / running a site on the two operating systems on your own server compared to on an external server? It's not really an English question but still a good way to practise your skills. :) Woodward Joined on Tue, Jun 24 2003 A New Zealander in Chile Senior Member 2,747 Don't let schooling interfere with your education. www.grammar.cl - www.vocabulary.cl Difference Between, Countries, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Languages, Online, Websites

Linux is totaly free from viurs attackes. And also you can experience a lot in Linux hosting. My Vote goes to Linux.. Linux .. Linux.,, gsiva Joined on Tue, Mar 24 2009 India New Member 13
