Thread: Selecting a Web Hosting Operating System

While looking for a web hosting provider then one of the first things that you often have to consider is what operating system the server will run on. Different web hosting providers use different operating systems to host the websites. This is a main criterion that you must check out for before selecting a web hosting service provider.

*Macintosh - Macintosh web hosting servers are very uncommon. In fact, if you want to host your site on a Macintosh server then you will probably have to look into web hosting your site yourself.
*Unix - Unix is very much alike Linux but still is not as common on web hosting services. This is so because it is more expensive and the hardware is also more specific.

unix is better choice among everyone because it's open source and it's home to linux i guess which can process websites and apache faster than windows or machintosh.
