Realizing the potentiality and reach of internet, everyone in this modern world has got a common taste in being recognized by a website of one’s own. Finding individuals and business alike with strategies in place, the next thing that embarks the visual plot (and after a ‘search’ function also), is a rich population of hosting service provider – offering incredible options within amazing price, with theirweb hosting services.
Are you the one amongst many wannabe website owners? Why not to get in detail about the plans then?
Let’s start with a small discourse on two types of web hosting services that a majority web hosts come to offer with.
Windows Web hosting and Linux Web hosting - the two types of hosting services
The two hosting services can match to the demands of million individuals and business alike. In Windows web hosting service the hosting platform comprises Active Server Page (ASP) as the base scripting language. While MSSQL is considered for database Windows Server is the Operating System and makes it a major Microsoft technology compliant process.
Linux Web hosting services, on the other hand, is a sum of OpenSource architecture-based options that come complete with technologies specifically designed and dedicated towards non-profit programming and web architecture platform. Linux Web hosting works on a LAMP.
Wondering what’s in a name? Here we go.
L = Linux. The UNIX-like OS.
A = Apache. The HTTP web server.
M = MySQL. The multi-threaded, multi-user, SQL DataBase Management System.
P = PHP/Perl/Python. The three varieties of scripting languages.
Leaving the technology aside (expect to have a detailed discussion in the coming issues) what makes more meaning is in the specialties of the both services.
While Windows Web hosting services guarantee flexibility and robustness (obviously by virtue of its popular language, database and server framework), Linux web hosting services on the contrary, comes with a secure and effective web hosting solution for millions SEMs world-wide.
Now, Windows or Linux, the choice is for you to make. It is you who knows your business best. However, for more information on the subject matter wait for our next issue on the same topic.
