Use Windows Virtual Server Hosting or Linux Servers Perhaps many of the Internet users who do not have much idea of Linux are surprised that they use it every day. Why? Because many or most of the servers that are accessed to view a web page in the browser are Linux. Also companies and individuals who have their own website are using this operating system on the server. Linux systems are used in shared hosting, as in virtual private servers (VPS) or dedicated servers. What is good or bad about using Linux VPS servers? What advantages does it imply? Let's analyze it. Why use a Linux VPS (private virtual server) and not Windows The first reason we could argue is stability. A normal Linux installation can work well for years and years without failures. The same cannot be said for Windows systems. In that sense, Linux is the preferred option for many servers, so it can be much more interesting to opt for a Linux VPS than for a Windows Virtual Server Hosting.
The main problem is that Windows requires a reboot for configuration changes and system updates. It is also true that it degrades over time and requires defragmenting the hard disk of our server, cleaning the registry and trying to restore stability to the system.
