Finally, I wonder why the price difference. Is windows hosting better or safer than linux hosting, so its price is costly?
It is definitely windows hosting is more expensive than linux hosting, because each user login to windows server need to purchase CAL license, while linux server is freeware, no license to be paid, thats why the hosting company will charge higher price for windows hosting than linux hosting.
