Host-Tek
offers both Unix, and Windows hosting environments
In web site hosting
there are two main types of operating system platforms on which you may host your web site, namely: UNIX and Windows. Each
has its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The language which
your site is programmed in is what primarily determines the type
of hosting you need.
The operating system
that you use on your desktop computer has nothing to do with the one that your host needs to serve your web site. Most personal
sites are created with MS FrontPage even though that is a Microsoft
product, it can be hosted perfectly on a UNIX web server with FrontPage
Extensions installed.
UNIX systems handles
high server loads better than Windows and UNIX machines seldom require
reboots while Windows is constantly needing them. Servers running
on UNIX enjoy extremely high up-time and high availability and reliability.
To help you decide, UNIX-based
hosting is more stable, performs faster and more compatible than
Windows-based hosting. You only need Windows hosting if you are
going to developing in .NET or Visual Basic, or ASP. |
