Unix vs. NT/Win2000
Should I host on a Unix server or a windows 2000 server?90% of web hosted domains are hosted on a Unix server platform. Unix is the most stable server platform for web servers. The computer I use at home is using windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000 or is a Mac. Will Unix be compatible? Do I need to host my domain on one of your Windows 2000 servers?One of the most common misunderstandings we hear is that you must have Unix on your own home computer in order to host your site on a Unix server. This is simply not true. It does not matter which operating system you run on your own/home computer, you can host on either Unix or Windows server platforms. You will have no limitations either way. Hence, if you are using Windows 95/98/ME/XP/2000 or even a Mac, you can still choose to host your domain with us on a Unix server. I use Microsoft FrontPage to build my web site. Don't I need to host on a Windows 2000 server?No. Microsoft FrontPage is completely supported on either Unix or Windows 2000 servers. FrontPage server extensions are included Free on all of our plans. How do I know if I need Windows 2000 or not?If you are not requiring support for one of the following, you more than likely don't require Windows 2000 hosting. Windows Media files, Cold Fusion, MS SQL, MS Access Database, IMAP, ASP, ASP QMail, Visual Basic Scripts, Index Server, FoxPro Database, as well as several others.
