If your site uses php, perl, MySQL etc, We recommend using Linux Hosting. These technologies provide much faster performance on Linux servers and are more stable. Windows server will *not* have Extensive Add-on Modules and Extensions for these languages. Running those applications on Windows server can be risky and might open security holes for hackers to abuse. Windows Hosting is recommended for users who are planning to deploy their website coded with ASP and other Windows based technologies. However, PHP and CGI function is provided for members to run simple scripts and applications.
