The fact that this hosting allows U/L sites and has cPanel/Fantastico appeals a lot to me.

Then, as I always do, read some review about this hosting..

most of them tells how bad Linux hosting uptime is......


is this true ? I mean the review all seems to come from 2-3 identical person





thanks

I would suggest looking at third party reports. Reports from individuals are usually not correct and could be related to their own internet connections having issues. I would suggest taking a look at something like webhostingstuff (third party)

linux hosting is not bad. just the hosting company.
indeed world best hosting company are using solely linux server. and they offer greater price compare to windows asp server.

Linux web server is more stable in my opinion. Windows server is good if you keep up with their security patches. Of course all hosting companies wish their servers to be up 100%, but sometimes they have to put server offline for many many reasons.

The worst downtime was a DDOS attack in my opinion. Others could be hardware related, like corrupted hard drive, etc.

Good luck

Linux is one of the most popular platforms when it comes to web hosting. It is impossible to say which one is better and it is down to individual needs, but both can have just as much uptime/downtime

Yes, linux is much better compare to windows platform. It is much secure, light weight and good for hosting.
