Unix Web Hosting Majority of web sites hosted on the internet are hosted on Unix servers. Although Windows hosting undoubtedly has its place in the industry, most web hosts are providing their services on Unix servers. Normally there is delusion that web masters using a Windows PC must use a Windows based hosting plan. This could not be further from the truth! For most web sites a solid Unix plan such as the MySiteSpace Pro plan is all the web hosting you will ever need.
Another common reason one may choose a Windows hosting environment over a Unix environment is their use of a particulat database with their web site. A very common Unix database is MySQL. Most Windows hosting users will typically use either Microsoft Access or MS SQL Server as their database.
