Today I had GoDaddy revert my hosting from Windows to Linux. I feel pretty guilty for deserting Microsoft.
When I signed on with GoDaddy about a year ago, I was provided the choice and went with Windows. At the time, it seemed like a good choice. I was used to Windows, have been using it for years, being pretty aware of many of the applications available to Windows Servers. You know, front page.
I think when it came down to it, I sided with Windows because Linux represented the unknown and I had developed a partiality to all things Microsoft.
Why did I want to change? Glad you asked.
I purchased my first website, www.excellentcorvettes.com, and stepped into the world of website design. More about this later.
What I have learned, is that most websites are hosted on Linux servers.
The Linux operating system is very widely accepted as the hosting operating system that meets the needs of most sites on the internet.
Site designers consider it as being the fasted, most reliable and capable.
Linux supports a huge number of open source applications geared towards meeting the needs of the online community.
If I were to suggest, to someone just signing on with a hosting provider, choose the Linux for website hosting. Choose Windows if business applications made by Microsoft are going to be hosted on your new domain.
