If you are a novice, you most likely will not require Windows hosting and you should select one of many UNIX hosting plans. The only time you would need to use Windows hosting is when you are using the specific Windows applications such as Access, ASP, Cold Fusion and MS SQL. Microsoft FrontPage may be used on both the UNIX and Windows platforms, since ITSSN supports Microsoft FrontPage server extensions on both.
