In the world of shared hosting, Linux server hosting and Windows server hosting emerge as two contenders for the top position. Though you might think that both are same at the first glance, there is a difference between linux and windows shared hosting.

1) Operating System: Linux hosting can run on Linux operating systems such as CentOS, Red Hat, and Debian while windows hosting operates on the Microsoft Windows Server operating system. Though operating system is not a criterion big enough as you can use Linux hosting on windows operating systems and vice-versa.

2) Security: Many people are of the view that security is a big concern with windows servers when compared with linux servers but this is a false perception as server security depends upon the web hosting company and not on operating system. It is, however, believed that hackers favor the operating system of windows.

3) Cost: Linux server hosting is preferred over windows server hosting as linux is a free to use and open source operating system. If that was not all, more web hosting companies of the world provide linux hosting making it win the battle in terms of cost effectiveness.

4) Performance: Linux is more stable and able to deliver better performances as compared to Windows when it comes to handling a lot of processes at the same time.

Optimizing WordPress on ehostpros Hosting

FastWebHost Web Hosting, FastWebHost Wordpress Hosting | Be the First to Comment

All ehostpros Hosting plans are capable of hosting your WordPress Blog. WordPress blogs can be extremely resource intensive if you happen to experience a surge in traffic. Poorly implemented wordpress setups can place a high load on ehostpros servers and lead to interruptions of service or account suspensions for using too many resources. Here are some tips that can help you make your wordpress install more stable:

1. Use WordPress super cache plugin ( http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache/ ) : The number one thing you can do to improve wordpress performance is install a page cache. WordPress super cache plugin is an extensive modification of the WP-Cache plugin. The wordpress super cache plugin serializes your posts to a file on disk and later spits them back. It also knows how to update itself when comments are received, etc, so your site is always the most up to date. I can not recommend this plugin enough if you wish to have a stable and responsive wordpress install. Note: to use this plugin you must have Mod_Rewrite enabled. Add the following to your .htaccess file: Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On

If you do not know how to add this to your .htaccess file, you can contact ehostpros hosting support.

Please see http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache/ for more information.

2. WP Built-in object cache: The default installation of wordpress can be used to cache database queries. Less database queries = less resources being used and that makes us all happy. Just add the following line to your wp-config.php file: // Enable the WordPress Object Cache: define(ENABLE_CACHE, true);
