Operating systems for web hosting

One of the most important issues when it comes to web hosting is the type of operating system you need for an easy access, updating, data base, and how does it connects everything with the rest of the world, among other features. Operating systems are what make possible sharing the information of your website, without them web hosting pages would only be a gathering of images, and data.  

Different operating systems

There are some operating systems created by different companies:

Microsoft Windows: This operating system was specifically created to work with PCs.

MacOS: it was created for Apple, and is very easy to install on Mac and iOS devices.

Linux: This was an operating system created for machines oriented to technical organization purchasing.

Chrome OS: mostly is all about what is found in the Chromebooks market.

From all these types of operating systems the ones more used are Windows and Linux, because they are very easy to operate and their costs are lower.

Linux Servers

Linux is an operating system that can be divided into two types of plans in web hosting ; shared plans, these are very basic and the user will not be able to know most of the features, but just knowing that the server is Linux; VPS Plans and Dedicated Servers, this is a more specific and advanced plan when it comes to the user, because you can have access to basic features that can benefit your web site managing like: knowing what kind of Linux servers you are using, ins and outs of Linux and other technologies.

Windows Operating system

There are a lot of applications made from Microsoft that are used by web hosting, and this is the main reason why sometimes this operating system is so popular and so demanded, but it is more expensive because of licensed costs, therefore, most people prefer Linux, because it has a cheaper version and if some web hosting services choose Windows, it is because they need to do so.
