| Windows or Linux Hosting | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| The main differences between the Windows and Linux hosting platforms are the languages and software that run on them. For most customers who are hosting a website, a Linux hosting package is the perfect solution. Linux is an open source platform and has a large user base globally, one of its main benefits is the ability to use technologies such as MySQL, Ruby and PHP. If you want to install WordPress, Joomla or any other of the FREE web applications by Softaculous, you will need a Linux Hosting package. A benefit of using a Windows platform is the ability to develop using ASP and ASP.NET technologies. |
