Choosing the hosting platform - Windows or Unix?

Many newbies will get stuck on this question. Here we will try to explain the difference:

1. Reliability
IT-specialists prefer Unix here but we have to say that the reliability of Windows is very high too.

2. Convenience
The difference between Unix and Windows here is not too big, because providers give web-interfaces for both platforms.

3. Speed
In terms of speed of server there is no particular difference - the speed is rather comparable.

4. Functionality
This is the parameter that makes platforms different. Nevertheless you may find only small amount of tasks that may be solved on one platform and are unable to be performed on another.

5. Price
Price is decisive in most cases - here everything is simple - Unix is free for most times and you have to obtain paid license for Windows.
