Why Choose Linux dedicated servers?

Linux is a computer operating system that was originally developed as open source software. First released in 1991, it has become an extremely popular platform. It has been used for server operating systems for almost as long as it’s been out, and these are (arguably) seen as more stable and reliable than other operating systems.

Although by no means unknown, it’s often stated that there are less viruses and malicious software specifically designed to attack Linux systems, and so using Linux dedicated servers could be a more secure choice than a Windows dedicated server. It’s also sometimes argued that servers using open source platforms may perform better than commercial operating systems.

There are pros and cons of each operating system, and often choosing between Linux or Windows dedicated servers comes down to personal preference and experience of your IT staff. If they are familiar with Linux or happy to learn it, or are particularly keen on the ‘open source’ philosophy, then this option can be the ideal solution for those who feel that their current or shared hosting is no longer sufficient for their website or business application needs.

With a system looked after by CWCS you have a choice of different management and support levels and full control of the server and the websites and applications which are hosted on it. This means that you will not face any nasty surprises with your hosting from other websites causing problems. With a shared hosting platform, your website shares the server space with many other websites. This means that should one of those websites develop a problem, your website is likely to also suffer as a result.
