Unix and Win Op hosting???? whats the difference

what is the difference between Unix, linux and windows server?

I damn nearly signed up for a Unix server with that Cpanel thing from ByzHosting. I do most of my work on dreamweaver and use a win-op system.

So that would've been a mistake had I purchase a hosting domain for a Unix server when I have a win-op system instead?

No, it really doesnt matter. You can have/run all your work on a windows system and have a unix/linux host. It wont make any difference.

However, if you plan to user windows only modules such as .NET or ASP pages you should go with a windows host. Otherwise choose unix/linux. Linux tends to be cheaper because it is a free opretaing system where as windows is not.

Linux is also a lot more secure than windows.

If your not using ASP i would recommend linux although windows and linux should work either way

Linux, Unix = PHP, CGI, mySQL
Windows = ASP, CGI, mySQL

heh your theory is flawed...

you can run asp on linux using specialist software (i think sun sell something called chillsoft??) and php runs on windows as well...
