Which platform is better for serving web pages, UNIX or Windows? This is a common question asked by many people when choosing a web hosting provider. The answer to this question is simple, it is a matter of what you wish to do with your website. If you want to design and maintain your website using Microsoft FrontPage we suggest our powerful Windows 2000 Advanced Server platform. The 2000 platform also offers features for web developers such as Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP scripts), Microsoft Access ODBC Databases or MS SQL 2000 databases and Allaire Coldfusion support. Our powerful Silicon Graphics UNIX-based web hosting platform is great if you develop your applications using Perl or require MySQL databases. The UNIX plans also include remote SSH access to a shell account, built in web-based password protection. A large number of cgi scripts are also available for UNIX. If you are undecided on the features you need for your website, we recommend our Windows platform.
