No, this is not the truth, in fact now more and more people is choosing linux hosting, due to their hosting plan is cheaper, and linux is seldom being infected by virus, and those mysql database for linux is also cheaper and some free too. People choose windows hosting mostly for their application hosting where supporting microsoft sql server .Quote:

As far as I know, some people use linux and some use windows depending on their scripts or sites what they want. Some scripts doesn't support windows hosting, and some doesn't support windows.
I just know about this. So, there are some script which not support linux hosting and some other not support windows hosting.Quote:

Yes, ther are different scripits/extension suppot running for linux and windows hosting. The common one would be PHP extension for linux and ASP extension for windows. Due to the mostly more expensive of windows hosting, people is tend to choose linux hosting for nomal website without windows database support.Quote:

Actually it is hard to compare both hosting packages, both windows and linux hosting is having different type of usage and have different users who use it. In term free hosting, of course only linux hosting will provides such a services due to linux do not need to pay license fees while windows hosting need. If includes with those free hosting, then definitely linux hosting is having more users.
Yes, ASP server programming does support only window's and for linux we have to use PHp programming and Linux is mostly used more security and i don't know much about free hosting with Linux....even free hosting is not large in numbersQuote:

I don't think so. PHP is even supported in windows hosting. I have seen on many windows hosting that PHP is supported. About ASP, I'm not familiar with this extension and nor I have seen it any hosting plans.Quote:

The lastest Windows IIS 7 and 6 support add-on PHP extension as well, that why now windows hosting support PHP extension too. My previous post is to point out the common main difference between windows and linux hosting.Quote:

maybe you are more familiar with Linux than window's as me and i have also hosted man sites, but all in window's serverQuote:

Well, i think you said you haven't use windows hosting before, so you don't know anything about windows hosting, and can't compare which is better, you are just thinking on your mind, and siding for linux hosting just because you used before. Anyway, both hosting have their pro and cons, can't be compare, it depends on user requirements.Quote:
