Choosing Linux or Windows Hosting Platform.

Choosing Website Hosting platform.

In todays webhosting world you have two different webhosting environment, Linux and  windows hosting environment. Linux is widely used hosting platform though few  webmaster prefer windows hosting platform. Choosing hosting platform totally depends on  what applications, tools you have use to develop your site. If you intend to develop  your site using ASP, FrontPage, or .NET environment, or windows media component  such as Windows Streaming Media, Microsoft based databases like Access, MSSQL,  or any of the other Microsoft’s owned technologies then you should opt for Windows  Hosting  plans. Linux hosting is preferred if you dont use any of above applications. If  your website is developed using PHP, MySQL etc… then Linux hosting is most suitable for  your need. Ie if your site is bases on OpenSource architecture such as PHP, MySQLJoomla, Mambo etc…then Linux hosting packages will work great for your need. Usually  Linux Hosting is cheaper then Windows Hosting packages. Managing Linux  hosting accounts are much easiler then Windows. You will get cPanel as control panel for  managing your Linux hosting package, if you have Reseller, VPS or Dedicated hosting  account you will get WHM/cPanel for managing your highend hosting accounts. Using  WHM you can create small hosting accounts under your master account on Linux hosting  plans where as you will get Plesk as control panel using which you can manage all your  hosting accounts.
Linux Web hosting works on LAMP feature.

LAMP stands for :
L = Linux OS.
A = Apache its the HTTP web server.
M = MySQL its multi-threaded, multi-user, SQL DataBase Management System.
P = PHP/Perl/Python supports these scripting languages.
Thus if you are not much attracted with Microsoft products and havnt used then while  developing your site you can opt for Linux hosting packages as per your need.
you have range of options for choosing hosting plan depending on your hosting requirements. You have basic Shared hosting plans, reseller, VPS and also Dedicated  hosting plans. if for some technical reason you need to have root/Administrative RDP  access to your server you need to consider VPS or Dedicated server hosting plans.   Shared/reseller hosting plans dont have root/Administrative RDP access, you will have  basic/limited access to your account for shared or affordable web hosting packages. If your site is basic site with low traffic you can consider shared hosting plans and if you want to have advance   features for your Email Web Hosting account and to have more interactive site with heavy traffic you will have to consider higher hosting plans.

Difference between an SSL certificate and a Wildcard SSL certificate.

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer which is responsible for creating a secure, encrypted link between a Web server and a browser; if you are having SSL certificate for your ecommerce site then all financial transaction would be done very securely and will prevent hacking of your credit card details which you may use while online purchasing.
you have 2 different types of SSL certificates… normal SSL and Wildcard SSL certificate. An normal SSL certificate secures a single domain name where as if you have a Wildcard SSL certificate then you can secures multiple sub-domains of a single domain name and thus can save cost.
When using Wildcard SSL and trying to generate a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for a your Wildcard certificate, you need to add an asterisk (*) to the left of the domain name so that it can used with all sub-domains. (e.g., “*.domainname.com” would work for www.domainname.com or secure.domainname.com or “www*.domainname.com” if you wanted www1.domainname.com or www2.domainname.com). Thus you can secures all sub-domains for your main domain. Thus you can consider a Wildcard SSL Certificate which will secures your main domain as well as all of its sub-domains.
The Wildcard SSL Certificate works very similar to a regular SSL certificate, it also undergoes the same validation processes, and is available as either an SSL or a Deluxe certificate. The major difference between normal and Wildcard SSL Certificate is that it can be used with all sub-domains of your main domain, though Wildcard SSL is more expensive as compare to normal SSL but its always worth for paying extra amount if you are getting freedom for using SSL for your subdomains.
