When looking for hosting, alot of people seem to neglect the idea of hosting in a Microsoft environment. In fact hosting on a Windows server 2008 isn’t all that much of a bad thing. I hear you saying. “Why”?
Well because it’s developed by Microsoft, bugs and exploits can be ironed out quickly enough, They do after all have lots of money and expertise to throw at such problems. Having been in the business of making software for so long. Microsoft can’t really be that much of a bad choice.
They are also quite powerful when it comes to doing their job, hence the reason why many Universities already switched over to Microsoft Windows Server 2008.
This is certainly an OS for your dedicated server you should be considering. As long as the scripts you intend to run are compatible with a Microsoft environment. (Most scripts have no problems with being hosted on a Microsoft server.)
