Many questions are there, sorry for that.
Definitely Linux hosting is cheaper than windows hosting. The different between them is the server that hosting our files, which OS they are. For windows hosting ther server is running on windows OS, and support those windows based databse like Microsoft SQL and ASP coding, and for linux hosting, OS is linux, so it is supportting mysql and those PHP coding.
