Hello Calvyn,

Welcome to Webmaster Malaysia Forum.

Normally Windows hosting will be more expensive than Linux hosting, as the license fees of the former mentioned is more expensive. But it really depends on the web hosts (a lot of them offering at the same price).

They basically differs in:

Programming Language: Linux hosting does not support ASP.Net, ASP2.0 or any other .Net programming language, it only support PHP as the web programming language Windows on the other hand, supports both PHP and ASP.

Database: Linux supports MySQL, PosgreSQL and other open source of SQL; Windows offers better variety at supporting MS Access, MySQL, Microsoft SQL server.

Other differences are the web host control panels and web mail software. It all depends on the web hosts.

Hope this helps.

Hello Lee,

Welcome to WebmasterMalaysia.com

You need to consider the following:

# Programming Language: Linux supports PHP, Perl and cgi script; Windows supports PHP, Perl, cgi script, ASP and ASP.NET.
# Database: Linux supports MySQL database while Windows supports Microsoft SQL, MySQL database and Microsoft Access database.
# Web Control Panel: Linux hosting plan operates on CPanel while Windows operates on HELM Control Panel. For a demo version of control panel, please visit:

+1, Windows is more expensive than Linux. Because we have to pay for the license while Linux is Open Source.
