Unix Hosting

Unfortunately, it is a little more difficult to find cheap NT web hosting than it is to find other operating systems such as Unix or Linux, simply because the OS is not free. Because mySQL and PHP run so well on Linux, Unix and Apache systems, you can easily find shared hosting packages that provide you with both mysql and php for very cheap. Linux, Unix, Windows, how much RAM, how much bandwidth, with or without control panel --- all of these questions are essential to making your web hosting server decisions accurate and useful. You will notice little to no difference between a windows ftp hosting site and a linux ftp hosting site, but once you get into using the FTP, you will find yourself unable to change permissions on folders in the windows server, while able to change permissions (chmod) without difficulty on the linux or unix server. Luckily, these two items come standard on most linux and unix hosting solutions. Unix web hosting providers offer a large variety of different package you can choose from.
