Why Linux is the Superior Choice For Your Web Server
You might wonder why so many web hosting providers choose Linux as their first choice for server operating system, and why (GNU)Linux and Free/ Open Source Software is enjoying such dramatic growth on the web. Here is just a brief list of the many strengths of the Linux operating system in regards to servers.More Secure
The number-one reason by far. Microsoft and other proprietary operating systems have been plagued by viruses, worms, malware, spyware, spam, botnets, and the whole spectrum of security problems since day one. Compare to Linux, where, to this very day, not a single successful security attack against Linux has ever been reported in the wild. The secure environment of Linux is the result of more robust design, smarter authorization management, and a worldwide base of programmers and testers who, thanks to the open source license of the code, can dive right in and fix a problem the minute it has been discovered.
More Stable
A close second is that Linux is quite capable of running indefinitely without crashing, hanging, or needing a reboot. There are computers running Linux right now which have an up-time measured in years. And then in some cases the reason for shutting it off is only so they can replace a part of the hardware!
