When to choose a Linux VPS Hosting

Linux VPS hosting is cheaper than Windows VPS hosting, as it’s free and open-source, while Windows requires an operating system license. Therefore, most Linux server applications are also free.
Linux offers more flexibility when it comes to control panels. While Plesk can be used for both Windows and Linux VPS, only cPanel is compatible with Linux. This alone makes Linux a popular choice among businesses and developers.
Because of open source, Linux is notoriously tough on malware and viruses. Windows, on the other hand, will require you to install a plethora of security software to combat SQL attacks and script kiddies.
