Hello,
My website is developed and designed using PHP-MySQL on Windows Server 2003 (IIS) platform.
Now, I am going to host my website on the server so I want to know that
Should I get hosting server with PHP-MySQL & Windows Server 2003 support?
Or
Hosting server with PHP-MySQL & Linux can work for me without any problem?
Please reply so I can decide for what I should do.
Thanks in advance,
Need help to select hosting server platform (IIS or Linux)

My opinion:
Short answer: Linux.
Long answer: whatever <whoever is dealing with the server most> knows best.
For 99% of developers it won't matter, but that other 1% will discover that some things are easier (and possible!) on Linux but not on Windows.
