There are contradictory views regarding web hosting services. Some opines that for certain particular programs Linux hosting is better while for certain others Windows is better.

Windows Hosting versus Linux hosting
The tussle is on between Windows web hosting and Linux web hosting. Every system has got its own advantages and disadvantages. But the users are spoiled for choice. Even the government agencies are on dilemma and considering deeply the various aspects of both. Discussions and conferences are on in full swing.
People who are not well versed with various Operating Systems often scare to just shift to or incorporate into another Operating System in these days where new systems are apparent to come up. Same is the case in web hosting practices.
Whether you are using windows in your PC or any other operating system it is nothing to do with your web hosting services. It is open to go for any type of hosting. What operating system you use on your PC is nothing to do with your web hosting choices.
It is totally a matter of personal choice. Maximum government agencies till date are using Windows operating system and windows web hosting, but it is to be seen which way it tilts into. Some studies show that web developers want the flexibility to use both Windows and Linux environments to build their websites.
It is not only the matter of feasibility and familiarity, cost factor is also considerable as it tremendously influences the users. And the convenient server type needed is determined by the types of programming languages you use. When your site uses a programming language called Active Server Pages and / or is connecting to a database such as Microsoft Access or SQL server then Windows hosting is preferred than any other. In this way Linux may be useful for other programmes and languages.
The tussle, I am sure will be ended one day when both operating systems will work in close conformity with each other leaving the end users with more and more new developments and ease in operation.
