From the demand, stability, operability, safety, cost-effective analysis, and then you know which space to choose. Demand: this depends on your site to choose the language, if it is asp construction site, do not hesitate to choose Windows host, Linux does not support asp series of language; If the website is built in PHP language, it is recommended to choose Liunx host, because in Liunx platform, Linux+Apche+Mysql framework to run PHP web pages can be more efficient and stable. Linux space also supports Zend acceleration and more to make your site run more smoothly! Stability: the stability of the host is crucial, related to the survival and development of the website, if the stability is not good enough, it will affect the access of users, will also affect the optimization of the website, resulting in no ranking, which has a very big impact on the user experience. Linux is generally more stable than Windows because it is open source and has fewer vulnerabilities, making it less vulnerable to cyber attacks. The other thing is that the Windows graphical interface is a lot of resources, but Linux gets rid of the graphical interface and runs much faster. Windows typically requires a reboot when configuration changes, which leads to inevitable downtime, while Linux usually does not require a reboot. Almost all Linux configuration changes can be made while the system is running without affecting other irrelevant services. So, Liunx is more stable. Operability: The popularity of Windows system and its graphical interface let us each understand the computer will not be unfamiliar, while Linux server is generally pure command line mode, each to complete an operation, such as creating a new folder, to complete with a series of commands. So in terms of operability, Liunx is a little bit more difficult to operate. Security: In terms of the number of security vulnerabilities, Linux’s open source approach helps to find bugs, solve problems with collective wisdom, and update patches quickly, which is an advantage Windows hosts don’t have. The Linux system also has its own disadvantages, that is, the hardware and related drivers developed by manufacturers are generally targeted at the Windows system, which makes the compatibility of Linux hardware relatively delayed. Linux is primarily used as a network-enabled operating system, and the default installation starts many unnecessary network applications, which can create security holes. As well as Linux inside the permission allocation is very careful, strict, each user is also independent of each other, so the security is better. Value for money: At this point, I think Linux has an obvious advantage because Linux is open source and free as a resource management and operating system. The Windows server system is charged, and accordingly, some software in Windows is also charged. As a result, the cost of a Windows host is much higher than Linux, and Windows space is naturally more expensive. So now it’s clear that Linux space has the advantage, but it can only run purely static HTML or PHP built sites. So if your site is only using PHP, then Linux space is a good choice, both in terms of security and performance, compared to Windows. Anyway, if it’s an ASP or.NET website, choose Windows host.
