Linux vs. Windows Web Hosting, does it make a difference?
One
of the most confusing decisions someone new to web hosting will have to
make is which platform their server should be on. There are a number of
different choices out there but the main two are Linux and Windows web
servers. There are also a lot of sources of information about hosting,
but the majority of them are tainted by the author's biased personal
opinion unfortunately confusing the issue. Having just put in some
solid hours researching the topic I have come to the conclusion that in
general it quite probably does not matter which server you use. For the
majority of people it will be far more important to choose a really
good web host than to worry about the server-type that they implement.

4 tips for choosing a web hosting company.
When choosing a web hosting company there are many factors to consider.
1. Does the company offer telephone support ?
Email support is always nice to have available, but you may already know how long it takes some people to reply to these. Getting someone on the 'phone when your site goes down will instantly make you feel better and get you the answers you need as quickly as you need them. A lot of bigger web hosting companies offer free support and often are available out of hours too. Phone support is a great benefit for any web hosting client.
