Linux is open source, so it is free. The web host only needs to pay for technical support to install and maintain the program (if required). The server provider does not need to pass on the extra cost to the customer. On the other hand, for Windows servers, companies usually have to pay for the operating system and regular use of licenses. Linux has instant compatibility with other open source software products and provides a fast interface for seamless adoption. Linux users can run Windows programs, but they must purchase interface software and pay for Windows license fees. This is convenient when you have an older version of the application that must run on the Windows emulator. Linux servers and the applications they run are usually designed to run lean, so they usually use less computer resources. The advantage is that programmers can modify Linux servers and software "on the fly" without restarting, which is impossible in a Windows environment. Microsoft Windows servers tend to slow down under multi-database tasks, and the risk of crashes is higher.
