There are many decisions you have to make when entering the dedicated hosting market and one of the most important revolves around which operating system you will use for your server. To the uninitiated this is not a difficult choice but there are differences between the three main types and choosing one may provide problems at a later date.
The three main choices for operating systems are Linux, Unix and Windows Server Operating Systems. It is easy to see that the Windows option will stand out for most people because this is the most common name.
With dedicated hosting being open to everyone, people with no experience at all of servers and operating systems may decide that this option is right for them because they know it. That is a fair enough criteria to base a decision upon but it can sometimes leave a user short of all the options.
Using the Linux operating system enables a person to utilise scripts such as Perl, Python, PHP and any other language that is based on Unix. The Linux server also enables a user to use MySQL and Postgre database systems. Again, the choice of database systems can be very important when looking for the right option for your website hosting needs.
If the languages above are not familiar and you do not intend to use scripts, you should find that all of the options are available for you. This means that cost and comfort are likely to be huge factors in your final decisions because all three of the operating systems should provide the things that you need to set up your site. If you are new to this sector, consider the merits of technical support of each operating system because that could be the issue that allows you to get the most from your dedicated hosting package.
