Linux is also very easy to work with other operating systems, something that cannot be claimed by Windows. If you have a web site hosted on Linux, it is much easier to transfer that web site to a Windows operating system than it is to transfer a Windows web site to a Linux server. This can be an important advantage to using a Linux web site hosting provider.
Cons of Linux Web Site Hosting
There are some cons to using a Linux web site host, however. If you utilize programs such as Front Page, for example, it can be difficult to upload your files from your computer to your Linux web server, although it can certainly be done. Also, certain programs such as ASP which are commonly used with web sites are usable only in Windows, so they cannot be used in conjunction with a web site hosted on a Linux server.
While these programs are certainly not a requirement for building a web site, they can prove to be very useful and this is one advantage that Windows has over Linux web site hosting providers.
