Windows Of Linux
I am just a little curious about what most people on WHT use for their shared hosting, Windows based servers or Linux? So I thought I would post a poll and hear feedback from people about both, just to appease my curiosity

Linux Or Windows
I wanted to ask you guys why some hosting companies ask you if you want either linux or windows when you are buying a hosting plan?....does it have anything do to with the way the control panel works or something like that?. I have created a few websites on a host that has linux on its general server info as its operating system. But I have winxp not linux installed on my pc. So my question is what difference it makes if the server is using linux or windows and whats the best choice when you buy a hosting plan.

Rackspace: Windows Vs Linux
so we are in a situation where we need to upgrade our hosting situation. We are pretty excited about Rackspace, but there is one fairly large issue that we need to overcome. We currently run a Windows based server with a MySql Db. Rackspace (due to contractual deals) do not support that combination. If you want MySql Db then you have to go with the Linux product. So, i can't very easily change my db from MySql to MSSql. Is there issues from going from a Windows Server to Linux Server? I have never dealt with a Linux Server, but the good thing is, the folks at Rackspace seem very helpful and would probably be able to step me through the processes. what are your thoughts? should i switch Server types, or Database Types?

Should I Switch From Windows To Linux
I am not a technical person but am a sole business owner trying to muddle through this. Your help is much appreciated. I want to combine my www with non www site via a 301 permanent redirect. My goal is to combine my page links in hopes that one day Google will increase my page ranking (which is sadly at 1). I don't think that combining them now (about 100 links each) will do anything to my PR but I do want it set up properly now so it's all set. I have been reading all over the Internet on how to do this and working with my site host: Go Daddy. It's been a struggle but I believe that because I'm on a shared Windows server, there is not a solution for me to do this. If I was on a dedicated server I could do it through IIS but that option is not available for those on a shared server. A posting I read from someone else who is also on Go Daddy (on another site) said he went and transferred his site from Windows to Linux and then was able to do the 301 redirect. I don't understand what Windows, Linux, Apache, etc. means. My site is very simple: advertisingspark dot com. Can I transfer to Linux? Should I transfer to Linux or Apache? Is this going to be too complicated for me? Or should I have someone else host my site? My annual fee is due in about a month so it's a good time for me to switch if I should. I don't know if it is relevant but I had a website designer create my site and then I edit it myself in a cheap editing tool. I know basic HTML (I'm sure my designer is cringing!) If I switch to Linux or Apache, can I no longer work in html files?

Windows Vs Linux Hosting ..?
a speaker at a meet-up stated that the only reason Linux is a more popular server platform is that kids starting hosting companies do not need to pay for the license... whereas college educated techies prefer the windows platform for their servers.. So I thought I would get some opinions from the pro's... which is the overall best server platform Windows... or Linux

Windows And Linux Backup
I have a Windows 2008 Server Running TCAdmin for Gameserver hosting and another server to VPS hosting (Running Linux-OVZ Kernel). Both have backup disks with the same capacity of main disk. What I need is to make a backup in the two cases that can be restaured with a simple Cable change. I have searched a lot but haven't found anything.

Linux Vs Windows 2003
I've gone through 3 servers lately, upgrading each time. All three have been linux this far, but I'm really not accustomed to it and don't like running on something I'm not familiar with. On the other hand, I'm very familiar with Windows 2003. So, what are your experiences running a vbulletin forum website with windows 2003? Any huge security flaws with Win2k3 compared to CentOS? Would I be able to use SSH to tunnel and remote desktop into the Win2k3 box? It'd be so refreshing to be able to use a gui instead of command prompts. I see a quad core with 8gb for under $150 right now, compared to my current dual core with 2gb of ram I think it'd definitely be a huge improvement.

Page 2 - LINUX/Windows
Linux ... why? 1 - linux hosts are abundant, prices are cheaper. 2 - linux hosts almost always accommodate php/mysql, which is the most common combo in doing web development projects these days - hence, there are many companies and freelancers in the market who are doing these work for reasonable rates. just check elance.com, rentacoder.com and the like to see the abundance of projects opened and done in php/mysql and the sheer number of l.a.m.p. developers. 3 - hackers dont like microsoft stuff. there is a psychological tendency to hack microsoft stuff rather than linux. .asp extension is kinda a fodder for many script kiddies, like waving a flag saying 'come here play with us'. 4 - the competition in linux hosting market causes hosts to offer more quality service.

Game Servers - Linux Vs Windows
This question, and many questions relating to this I am sure must have reasoning behind it. It basicly relates down to the following; Why do game servers use up more CPU on Linux, opposed to Windows? Some people say it doesnt, and that is true for some games, but most games I have found, the CPU usage of the game on a Linux based server is far higher. Just as an example, most Steam games. I really would like to know why, and how it could be reduced. What are some things I can install, or configure to make game servers run more smoothly or use less CPU on Linux? If anyone has any ideas & thoughts related to this, please let me/us know, for im sure this is beneficial to all. Just to add in, I use CentOS 4.6 Final.

I need to remove CentOS from an old office PC. Dont get me wrong I use Linux almost on everything but for specific reason I need to get XP back into this old AMD PC. I cannot install XP. I cannot remove Linux. This install is devil. It will not let me remove it. I tried everything. XP disk goes black screen and stays there, this is happens with some hardware and you have to remove all Linux partitions to me the Windows XP disk install start. The problem I CANT remove it. I go to rescue mode, or interactive, mode, it doesnt matter, I cannot remove linux. "fisk -l" Go to my partition fdisk /dev/sda2 d for delete and it just outputs: No partition is defined yet! I tried lots of ways around it and always that message. Linux doesnt let me remove the partitions. How in the world do I get XP back now?

Moving Site From Linux To Windows
I have a customer who would like me to move his site from a linux box to windows. As we are all linux I'm not sure of any major implications this would have. He wants to move as he is starting some .NET dev and wants to keep it all on the same server. The linux box has a forum/blog type application (customer written). It was done in PHP and using MySQL. The windows server is a Windows 2003 server. As far as I know I'll have to install the entire windows OS, install all SP and updates. I will install IIS, .NET. The MySQL installation is pretty simple and the PHP will be run as a CGI under IIS. I am thinking of installing an anti virus/trjoan scanner but as there will be no mail server there I'm guessing it's not necessary. I'm pretty sure I will need a firewall as there is no iptables equivalent for windoes (is there??). Any suggestions on something cheap / fast / stable and good. If someobody can see anything I missed here PLEASE let me as it will be most appreciated. is the 4GB + problem still around with a windows server 32bit ? The box will have exactly 4GB of memory.

Windows + Linux Shared Hosting
This one may be a bit of a stretch, but does anyone know of a shared host who gives you both Windows and Linux hosting with one account? It is possible, as the company myhosting.com seems to offer it, and I think (mt) MediaTemple has some betas with it. Update: Apparently MyHosting.com does it by giving you a primarily windows account with a linux sub-domain. That would work for me, but I'd rather a more known provider.

Windows Web Hosting To Linux
I'm currently hosting some websites using XAMPP/Apache/MySQL (obviously with heavily edited configs) on Windows. The largest site has around 40,000 forum members and grows extensively every day. Would I see better benefits buying a Linux/*nix server for web hosting needs? What flavour of Linux/*nix would be best suited out of the following options: CentOS 4 (32 bit) CentOS 4 (64 bit) CentOS 5 (32 bit) CentOS 5 (64 bit) Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (32 bit) Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Etch/Stable (64 bit) Fedora Core 6 (32 bit) Fedora Release 7 (32bit) FreeBSD 6.2 (32 bit) Ubuntu Linux 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake (32 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (32 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - 5 (64 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (32 bit) Red Hat Enterprise Linux - ES 4 (64 bit) Also, would using a control panel such as cPanel (I'd say Plesk, but very bad experience with it on Windows) be beneficial? The above would be going on a single process Quad Core with 4GB RAM.

I'm trying to replace my Linux OS with Windows Server 2003, which I already have a license. I'm talking about OVH Kimsufi XL. Following support's instructions, I booted my dedicated with netboot, specific with vkvm option. Then I specified an ftp location, (where there is my "totally working" .iso), and I started the virtual session. After some mins, a java windows appears, and starts the vnc session. After usual linux loading, it stops on this : Code: VFS: Cannot open root device "801" or unknown-block(8,1) Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: 0300 244198584 hda driver: ide-gd 0301 5245191 hda1 0302 238428687 hda2 0303 522112 hda3 Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(8,1) And, besides I cant write a letter!

.Net Vs PHP And Therefore Linux Vs Windows Servers
I have been a user of sitepoint for quite a while now. I am developing software applications at present and keep bumping my head into the same old question. Which is better, Linux or Windows servers. (Probably a question which depends on what they are used for of course.) In this case, they would be used to store a database for the application and therefore communicate with it etc. The choice is, do I develop the application in .net and use windows or do I go down the PHP route and use Linux. This is the options that have been explained to me, of course I am not a developer myself so am just hearing the advice I am told.

Rsync Some Files From Windows To A Linux Server
At work, we have a windows 2003 server. We have a set of files that get modified from day to day. Since they know I own a dedicated server (Linux) they ask me if it would be possible to have an offsite backup on my server of the set of files on the windows 2003 server. Also, I dont want to have the whole files set to be uploaded everyday. I am aware of rsync on *nix system, but do you have any suggestions on how to proceed with a windows 2003 server to a unix server?

DNS Clustering Question (windows & Linux)
I have a 2 cPanel DNSonly cluster setup for all our hosting operations. However, we are adding a Windows Domain Forest (for Outlook "push-mail") for this the windows server needs to be its own DNS server. We are also planning to host sites on the windows server (no control panel). Is there any way that I can allow cPanel to use Windows DNS as the new "cluster" and update/delete/add records of DNS to the windows machines? Same would apply to this question, we are thinking about adding a Directadmin test box, but we want to keep our NS1 and NS2 cluster so they all work with it. Is it possible? What is the feature called if you can't elaborate on it so I can research it?
