It is very common to find the two words - bandwidth and data transfer, used synonymously in the web host's pricing plans. However, technically speaking, there is quite a difference between these two terms

Bandwidth refers to the total amount of data that can theoretically be transferred at any one time. Data Transfer refers to the amount of data that has actually been sent from the Server to the client or vice versa. An analogy would be a road, the number of lanes on a road would represent Bandwidth, the number of cars that travel along that road over a given period of time would represent Data Transfer.

What's the Difference Between Unix and Windows Web Hosting

Posted Sat, 08/01/2009 - 08:32 by admin

So you're finally ready to publish your finished website and you're searching through the myriad of web hosting plans and providers. You may have noticed that most hosting companies use Linux or Unix operating systems on their web servers. Microsoft Windows is less commonly offered as a choice. So what's the difference?

In Windows Home and advanced Server editions, you can simply point and click your way to a different folder using your mouse. Unix and Linux are open-source - meaning that the operating system is free and the source code is well documented and easily distributed. There are no major differences between Unix and Linux. Unix is much older and cannot run on x86-based personal computers (like the one you're using now). In contrast, Linux can run on both high-powered servers and x86-based computers.
