Linux or Windows Hosting? What do you prefer?

I would say Linux, It's open source and has traditionally been believed to be very stable and robust.

Linux hosting, because of its widespread use, renowned stability, reliability, level of security and lower costs.

Yep, Linux is especially designed to work on both business and professional environment with more flexibility and stability.

[Jan]

I'd say linux, unless you need specific features or applications that are only available on the Windows platform.

[James]

Compared to windows, Linux has been considered as the best OS for Web servers. It is the most reliable, stable and efficient system used for the Web and mail servers.

[Mark]

I'd prefer linux bcoz it is open source, hosting fees are cheaper and the servers are generally more reliable.

[WatchOut]

I'd prefer Linux, the fees are cheaper and it's more reliable... also it's open source..
