Your choice of operating system should depend on what features you need. For example, if you are a programmer and already using IIS, ASP, VBScript, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server or Visual InterDev and you don’t have the time to learn Unix-based solutions then you should choose a Windows-based hosting provider. Just because your desktop is Windows-based doesn’t mean you should use a Windows-based hosting provider. Linux-based operating systems and Apache Web servers are most common among web hosting providers. This is due to Apache’s many shared-hosting features, a good track record of stability and performance. OzeVision hosting is based on Debian Linux.
