Linux is the best is cheaper depending of the flavor Ubuntu, Fedora, SUSE, Centos, etc...

I really like Linux hosting. I find linux better and easier to work with (in my oopinion).

 

[Chetanalpha]

I prefer Linux but require more technical knwoledge

I use Linux but it requires more technical knowledge to manage but with windows you get better facility to manage a server but it comes with less security....

Linux I use to use windows hosting but never got a profit form it. I now gain income form Linux hosting

Linux is flexible and free. You find most stuff open source on it and Linux hosting is and will always remain cost effective. While windows has its own advantages, it can never beat linux for its cost effectiveness. Its difficult to pin point which is good or which is bad however, its your requirement for hosting that would decide if you go in with Linux or Windows.

The main reason Linux is used more widely is that end users are only after cheap and reliable hosting and Linux fits the bill. Windows is designed for specialist hosting

FACT: Windows can host any site Linux can. The opposite is not true

FACT: PHP runs better under Windows 2008/2012 than under Linux

I found Linux much more easy to manage, and also more secure. But that is just my personal preference.

 

[solarishosting]

I sell both Windows and linux. As for alot of other people I recomend linux over Windows

 

[H4G-Kushal]

I personally recommend Linux.

 

[adarshhost]

Recommend Linux...Easy Use, Low Cost Setup, Low Hardware Requirement

 

[expertali]

If I were to choose I would choose Linux. But I would prefer to sell both as then you get more profit, as said by the people above.

Both are actually good since it depends on the customer's requirements. We sell both as we want our customers to have more options for them.
