Web hosting servers run on specialised operating systems that dictate which programming languages, scripts, and software frameworks your website can utilise.

Comparing Hosting Environments

• Linux Hosting: The industry standard for the vast majority of websites. It is open-source, highly stable, secure, and compatible with popular content management systems like WordPress, Drupal, and Magento, using languages like PHP and databases like MySQL.
• Windows Hosting: Specifically engineered for businesses relying on Microsoft technologies. It supports ASP.NET, MS SQL databases, and proprietary Windows applications, making it essential for corporate enterprise environments running bespoke .NET codebases.
