  Webhosting - Linux or Windows ?
 

In in a nutshell...
Customers often ask us which platform or server operating system they should choose: Linux or Windows. COMBELL can offer webhosting on both platforms, as we have several webservers available.

In the end, customers will have to decide depending on their own personal needs, but we gladly give you some information first, about both platforms and their pro's and con's.


  Lets take a look

Both are perfectly accessible
Several people have the misconception that Linux websites would only be accessible with Linux computers. This is absolutely not true! A website hosted on a Linux server can also be visited with Windows XP (or any other operating system for that matter). In fact, most websites are Linux hosted. Anyone can consult your website, whether you have internet access via Windows, Linux or any other operating system.

Both are very easy to use
It is indeed a fact that Linux is more difficult to install and has less of a graphic user interface (GUI) as an operating system (add-ons like KDE etc. not taken into consideration). But you don't have to worry about this: COMBELL installs the webservers. And both platforms have their own GUI control panel. Via this control panel, you can create, manage and delete e-mail addresses and much more!

Wat is shared
webhosting ?

Would you like to have your website on the internet ? Then you need webhosting.

Compare it to this:
If you want to park your car, you need parking place
Webhosting is the "parking place" for your website.

COMBELL shared webhosting is a solution for putting your website on a server, together with several other websites. The server is "shared" with other websites.
