Short tutorial that explains you on which hosting plan windows or linux that you should choose for your website.
The primary doubt that everyone has while hosting a website is that "Which hosting? Windows or Linux?".
There is not much difference between windows and linux hosting. Both works good on all websites. Only the applications that you use matters.

more of the features web designers expect, so unless you have websites
which need specific Windows applications, go for Linux Hosting.
