Operating System for Cloud VPS.

I would say there are more Linux machines out there than Windows machines, but one is not better than another, they are just used for different things.
 
Totally Windows as this is more suitable for cloud, VPS or dedicated servers. Linux is being used mostly for shared, VPS or dedicated hosting.
 
Linux is better option as it is reliable and cost effective too. However, if a website or application requires windows components like asp.net or mssql database, then you have no choice but to use windows OS.
 
Steadfast's most commonly chosen OS on our cloud platform is CentOS 6 64bit. It's a highly versatile and stable OS compatible with almost any Linux application.
 
Cloud is being "but around Linux"... which means that the Linux technologies are driving force of the Cloud computing. At some point it is possible more Cloud instances (whatever that means) to run on Windows OS than any Linux distributions, I doubt that however? @Leasedlayer.com Why do you ask this question? Your website says that you offer "Cloud VPS". Do you wander which one would be selling better?
 
There are a ton of different virtualization platforms to choose from: HyperV (Windows), XenServer, VMWare, OpenStack, OnApp, and so many more. Most will run both Linux and Windows VPS/VM's side by side with the right configurations. Consult with me if you don't know where to get started. :)
 
Choosing of operating system depends on your requirements. If you have designed on .net, you would got with Windows. So, it is total your choose.
 
Operating System for Cloud can be chosen according to the requirement and depends on the applications you are looking forward to host and same applies for the website hosting. For example, if you are in need of PHP or ASP.NET applications, then Windows can be the best option.
 
Windows operates a robust system which is very solid. So it is difficult to know the difference on a normal HDD, SAAS, SSD or Cloud.

But linux has a very easy and straight forward system, easy to understand and very appealing to a lot of online users.

That is why most people prefer Linux over windows, and most especially because of cost. Linux is cheaper than windows.
