Linux and Windows are operating systems that are used by the servers to do their intended purpose. The type of hosting you need depends on what kind of development language or database you might use with your website. Your home operating system will not affect which hosting account you choose.

The important question about using Linux is what type of applications, programming languages, and databases are you planning to use on your hosting account. If you are using only PHP, Perl, and Python and MySQL then you can select linux hosting. Linux hosting will not support ASP, ASP.NET, Access and MS SQL.

The Windows hosting supports a wide range applications scripted in various languages and development tools. This gives you the ability to run a site scripted in PHP and driven by MySQL databases right beside your Microsoft technologies like ASP, ASP.NET, Access and MS SQL. The main advantage of Windows hosting is that You can get the best of both worlds, without having to compromise your site design or development.
