operating systems on the network
Operating systems have the task of transferring the commands sent from our side (using tools such as mouse and keyboard) to the hardware and establish our connection with the computer hardware as an intermediary. The operating systems that are often used in the network are much more complete than the operating systems of ordinary computers.
At the network level, different operating systems are used, each of which has its own characteristics and advantages. The most famous of these operating systems are Windows and Linux.
Linux operating system
The Linux operating system is used due to its greater stability in most cases where there is a need for high uptime and guaranteed security. The programming languages that can be supported in this operating system are HTML, PHP, etc., and the powerful MYSQL database can be used to store information on it. In this type of operating system, powerful web servers such as Apache, Lite Speed, etc. are served and the number of processes running at the same time can be supported compared to other operating systems.
Linux is created based on Unix and is much safer than Windows, so it is not necessary to install an antivirus on it after installation. The Linux operating system is generally free, and due to the existence of the kernel as the core in this operating system, if one program hangs, it is possible to use other programs, and it is not the case that the entire system hangs and needs to be restarted. have In Linux, there is no need to install hardware drivers after installing the operating system.Linux recognizes all hardware by default. System files in Linux (XFS) support up to 1000 terabytes. While system files in Windows (NTFS) support up to 16 TB without any problem. Also, the number of supported processors in Linux is 1024, which does not exist in Windows.
Windows operating system
In the Windows operating system, we face more variety of programming languages. Languages such as HTML and PHP that were supported in Linux can also be used in Windows. In addition, this operating system supports ASP Classic, ASP.Net languages and frameworks such as MVC, WCF, etc. In addition to the MYSQL database, different versions of the MSSQL database can also be used in the Windows operating system. The very powerful graphical interface makes this operating system more attractive than Linux text environments.
The web server in this operating system is IIS and has more down time than Linux.
CentOS, Redhat, Ubuntu, Esxi, etc. can be mentioned among the types of Linux operating systems. The Windows operating system is also available in different versions such as Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, etc.
Conclusion
Finally, it should be mentioned that in order to choose a hosting service and host your domain on it, you must know the specifications of the operating systems and host your host on one of the operating systems of the network according to your needs, and if you do not have this knowledge and knowledge You can get advice from the support experts of hosting service providers
