Which is better Linux or Ms Hosting? I'm about to add another hosting packagem and was just wondering which is better for adult webmastering?

Lycanthrope · 01-29-2007, 08:24 PM

FreeBSD :P

directfiesta · 01-29-2007, 08:25 PM

Linux ( or equivalent flavor : Centos, Fedora, etc...).

Windows is more vulnerable an mainly used by people with " special needs "

TheSenator · 01-29-2007, 08:37 PM

I don't know of any big time adult webmaster using MS...

Linux all the way... I use Redhat

Odysseus · 01-29-2007, 08:46 PM

Linux
only
;)

OG LennyT · 01-29-2007, 08:47 PM

LOL at Windows hosting

Phil LoadedCash · 01-29-2007, 09:05 PM

I had a small web hosting company for 2 years, and never once did I ever consider selling windows. Linux is the best, no doubt, stick with it. A lot of people don't even know what Windows hosting is like, so they won't even try it.

PHP-CODER-FOR-HIRE · 01-29-2007, 09:09 PM

Windows hosting has its place (like for people who don't have any knowledge of unix and cannot/don't want to afford an administrator to do maintenance and setup).

Linux has a lot of vulnerabilities, so don't believe everything you hear about it being bulletproof and invulnerable. Keep it updated and you shouldn't have any problems though.

My two cents...

Altheon · 01-29-2007, 09:13 PM

So it's easier to administer than Linux? I was sweating the fact that I might have to administer a Windows web server.

Masterchief · 01-29-2007, 09:21 PM

Linux is just as unsecure when not managed properly, just as Windows is.

windows is a piece of cake to manage. although as said above, it should only be for special needs.

Bruce_Miller · 01-29-2007, 09:28 PM

Any Unix flavor is our preference, we use FreeBSD on all our servers except our cam server. Geting a hosting company that will manage it for you is also a good option.

lelahosting · 01-29-2007, 10:14 PM

linux!

have your host manage it or hire a systems admin. if you are not fluent with linux or windows servers you do not want to try to manage it yourself unless it is fine if you get hacked

ae-sc · 01-29-2007, 10:17 PM

Linux. Either Red Hat, Fedora, or CentOS

DaddyHalbucks · 01-29-2007, 10:33 PM

Linux all the way --unless you like the high cost, high resource useage, and security challenges of MS.

;)

rowan · 01-29-2007, 10:35 PM

Stick with 'nix based hosting, especially if you want to run PHP scripts. PHP has a Windows version but there are subtle differences that may break a script.

Fizzgig · 01-30-2007, 12:01 AM

I've never used Windows hosting or even been tempted to.

borked · 01-30-2007, 12:09 AM

freebsd here

BlueWire · 01-30-2007, 12:10 AM

Is this a fucking joke? You did not just ask if a microsoft product was better than linux?

Ange · 02-04-2007, 12:52 PM

linux I would say

Ange · 02-04-2007, 12:54 PM

well but php has many security issues

psili · 02-04-2007, 12:55 PM

Ive only been on Ms but i never really had problems wiht it

jixxi · 02-04-2007, 01:45 PM

Linux of course.

chaze · 02-04-2007, 01:54 PM

Linux is much better.. more secure, faster, more reliable...

In fact windows used a bunch of code from Linux for xp, that's why it was actually decent for windows standards.

Himuro · 02-04-2007, 02:27 PM

Fedora is the shit

u-Bob · 02-04-2007, 02:35 PM

FreeBSD.

GeorgeM · 02-04-2007, 02:39 PM

only LiNuX

geedub · 02-04-2007, 02:50 PM

J.P. · 02-04-2007, 03:27 PM
