NT vs. Unix

If you or your organization do not currently nor in the future have any plans to employ Microsoft specific applications to build and manage your web sites, then Tuffy Enterprizes strongly recommends the use of Unix/Linux servers for your web hosting. Examples of applications which require an NT server to operate include MS Access or MS SQL databases, Active Server Pages, Visual Basic Scripts and Cold Fusion.

Unix web hosting has proven the most popular option for webmasters today due principally to the reliability and functionality of Unix servers. With a superb track record for performance and intuitive web site management, Unix web hosting represents the best option for your website if you are not sure which platform to choose for an operating system.

In addition to issues such as reliability, functionality, performance and site management, a webmaster must also give serious consideration to issues such as product costs, licensing, and most certainly security. A more detailed discussion of these issues is available here.

Tuffy Enterprizes recognizes that a large number of individuals and organizations either prefer NT or have been mandated to use it. If this is your case, then we invite you to take a look at the NT solutions provided by our partners.
