Is Linux a Better Server Operating System Than Windows?

[Emerson Abby]

I'm curious as to which one is superior to the other.

Hi Emerson,

A great question, one that many people ask quite often and there is many aspects to answer this.

Whether you use shared hosting, VPS, a dedicated server or the cloud, when it comes to hosting your website or other applications, your choice of operating system (OS) boils down to either Linux or Windows. Which you choose depends on the needs of your business, the applications you wish to run, your technical expertise and your budget. On our blog we took a look at both OS to see their advantages and disadvantages. Find out more https://www.eukhost.com/blog/webhost...ystem-for-you/

Both are good, but according to me Linux is much better.

1. The Linux operating system is free and open-source. Windows, on the other hand, is not an open-source operating system.
2. Linux is free of cost. While windows are costly.

In Linux, monolithic kernels are employed. Windows makes use of micro kernels.

Linux has a lot of speed and security.

Linux servers are widely used nowadays and thought of as the foremost fashionable thanks to their stability, security, and flexibility, which outstrip customary Windows servers.
I'm using Linux and Linux VPS to do my tasks in a private space with high security.

In comparison to Linux, Windows is less secure because viruses, hackers, and malware attack Windows more quickly

The Linux operating system is flexible and reliable. Linux servers use fewer resources, which increases website performance and reduces downtime. Additionally, since the Linux platform is open-source, a website owner can change server configurations, perform updates, and install different applications, based on their needs.

On the other hand, the Windows operating system provides improved control. Every user is presented with Remote Desktop access, through which a user can control and manage his server anywhere and at any time.
