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, MySQL,  Joomla, 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.

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.
