The selection depends on your website's technical foundation.
Windows hosting is appropriate if your site uses ASP, ASP.NET or requires a Microsoft SQL database.
Linux hosting suits websites built with PHP, Perl, Ruby, or Python. Popular platforms like WordPress, Joomla!, and Drupal are optimised for Linux environments. For WordPress specifically, a dedicated WordPress hosting tier is available with performance enhancements.
Recommendation: We'd recommend choosing Linux as this platform meets the majority of our customers' needs when uncertain about requirements.
