Unix Web Hosting Information and Resources by dailyshowcase.com
Unix is the oldest and one of the most widely used operating systems for the
web hosting platform. It is the basis of the internet and most web servers originally
ran on a version of Unix. Unix is know as a multitasking operating system which
means that it can run many applications at the same time without them affecting
each other. This is very important when you consider that hundreds of websites,
running thousands of CGI scripts, all receiving thousands of hits could be running
on one web server. Unix is usually more reliable than Windows hosting and more
companies are on UNIX than windows simply because it is faster and open source
(meaning it is completely free unlike Windows which has hefty license fees).
The majority of web sites hosted on the internet are hosted on Unix servers.
While Windows hosting certainly has it's place in the industry, most web hosts
are providing their services on Unix servers. There is a common misconception
that web masters using a Windows PC must use a Windows based hosting plan. This
could not be further from the truth! For most web sites a solid Unix plan such
as the MySiteSpace Pro plan is all the web hosting you will ever need.
