Which Is The Better Server Operating System, Unix or Windows? Anybody who decides to get a web hosting service or facility for their
website will also soon be faced with the tough question of what server they
will need. Will their website be run by a Windows server operating system or
will they prefer to go for a Unix system?
Typical Windows servers will run on Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows
XP, while Unix servers could be Linux or Open BSD to name just two. The
truth is that both systems have there pros and cons.
If site stability and uptime are critical for you and your new website,
then Unix should be your choice because they are generally thought to be
superior in stability. Windows have the disadvantage that they usually
require rebooting much more often. Still Windows are miles ahead when it
comes to ease of use. A Windows server operating system will generally be
much easier to operate and administer than its' Unix counterpart.
On the other hand, Unix, even with its' stability may not end up being so
user-friendly, especially for non-techies. There is also a price to pay for
the extra stability which is evident in Unix systems. Usually Unix machines
will require their software to be updated on a very regular basis. All in
all, Unix server operating systems are favored over windows as they are
widely considered to be more stable.
Still if truth be told, when both systems are correctly installed, there
is really very little difference and they will give you basically the same
results. In effect this does not make this an easy decision to reach. In
fact this is the main factor that complicates the issue, causing even more
confusion and making it very difficult for the webmaster to make a decision
either way. However for many, the final answer to the question of which
server operating system is preferable, is quite often made by analyzing and
comparing the costs of both and going with the more affordable option.
