  differences between them in order to make the
  right decision for your website. In addition to

• Microsoft SQL Server is only available with
  Windows platform and it is used by various
  businesses in order to improve the website
  performance. SQL Server is known to provide a
  high level of reliability as well as high
  security to your data.
• Windows hosting makes the most of your operating
  system, it is known to provide stability
  guarantee so your SQL server database will always
  available.

Microsoft Access

  database system that is developed through
  Microsoft in order to use with ASP.NET created
  websites on Windows hosting. However, one of the
  major differences is it is a desktop database
  application and used for small implementations.

  option in terms of a database system and it is
  easier to configure as well. However, it is not
  considered to be as scalable as SQL server.

  move to SQL server at some point when your
  business starts to grow.

LINUX HOSTING FEATURES

• Cost-Efficient
• Linux web hosting is considered to be more
  affordable options of web hosting when compared
  to Windows hosting services. It is an open-source
  operating system and doesnt require any prior
  licensing in order to get the services.

  cost of Windows licensing that is included in
  their web hosting plans. Therefore, for a cheaper
  option, go for Linux hosting but if you have
  built your website using Windows-based tools,
  then choosing Windows hosting is the only option
  you have.

cpanel

• cpanel is considered to be one of the most
  popular as well as user-friendly control panels
  available in the market. However, cPanel is only
  available for Linux hosting services and due to
  that most people go for Linux hosting only
  because of getting access to cPanel.
• Whereas, when it comes to Windows hosting, the
  quality of control panel offered by Windows is
  very low as compared to cPanel. This helps the
  users of Linux hosting to be able to control
  every aspect of your hosting account.

• Linux Hosting
• Similarly, a Linux web hosting plan offers you
  various benefits over Windows hosting under
  certain circumstances such as cost-efficiency,
  cPanel and ease to use.

  your website using Windows software, then Windows
  hosting is a must because Windows tools can only
  be supported by Windows hosting services.

CONCLUSION

• In a nutshell, both Linux hosting and Windows
  hosting plans have a different audience and
  target a different type of websites. For big
  enterprises, Windows hosting would be a better
  option due to the additional features provided by
  Windows server but when it comes to smaller
  businesses, Linux hosting is more appropriate.
• Therefore, if you are looking for low-budget
  hosting services, go for Linux hosting but if you
  are using Windows tools and platforms, then
  Windows hosting is mandatory.
