With My Godaddy Hosting Account, Should I Choose Linux Or Windows?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-10-10   Tags: , , , , , , ,

My operating system is Windows XP but when I sent a help request to Go Daddy regarding webforms and databases, ie php and mysql, they told me I had to switch my hosting account from Windows to Linux.
I’ve done this, but can’t get my forms working. I’m not sure if I’ve simply botched the script or whether it’s because I have a Linux hosting account when I operate on Windows!!! Can anyone help please?

    Unless you have a compelling reason to use Windows Web hosting, you should use Linux Web hosting. You do not have a compelling reason.
    If you are using Microsoft Publisher or Microsoft FrontPage to create forms, you need to have a FrontPage enabled Web server. GoDaddy can install FrontPage for you.
    Otherwise, if you are making forms in PHP, you are receiving specific error messages. Copy and paste them here.

    It depends what script language you are using. PHP/MYSQL would work both windows and Linux that is if godaddy servers support it.
    If you are using PHP/MYSQL and it works with your windows server (IIS/Apache) than it should work with linux server.

    Take a look at the following link to get useful information regarding your question: http://www.goldpuma.com/answers.html It’s ineresting to know that http://www.goldpuma.com is parented with godaddy and offers the same produsts at lower costs. Hope this helps.

    Linux, Linux, Linux…
    Is rock solid. Your form problem most likely doesn’t have anything to do with the OS of the server. If you are having problems with your form, email me via Yahoo answers and I’ll be glad to help.
