Unix or Windows

[DarkMinD]

Ok since my site is growing good iam gonna pay for a host and iam questioning my self wich is best
Unix servers or Windows servers
in hostonce there are those two and i wanna know
which best for the YaBB SE Forum??

[Jay Silverman]

Unix.  While I'm sure there could be lists and lists of arguments over which is better, many windows hosts use IIS- and YaBB SE does work better in apache from what I've seen so far.

[DarkMinD]

alright thanku very much

any other oppinion??

2 is better than 1... heh

[alexrolko]

A *nix server may it be a BSD or Linux distro. Apache, is the better server and *nix servers are more stable.

[Agelmar]

Whoa whoa whoa... I have not seen anything here to suggest that YaBBSE runs better on a *Nix server than a NT server, nor have I seen anything to suggest that it runs better on Apache than IIS. I'm running mine on IIS5 on Windows 2000 Server, and it is running absolutely fine. I will agree that *nix has a more refined TCP/IP stack, but other than that, what are you basing your claims on???

[alexrolko]

There opinions. and as jay said, there could be lists and list of arguements.

But from some experiance and personal choice *nix and apache servers are better. and me nor anyone have made any claims

Agelmar think things over.

I'm also tossing in my vote for *nix and apache.  They have far fewer "quirks"

[ßlãçkÐëâth]

apache can go on windows to and linux i think

[Jay Silverman]

I've had problems with SE on my own IIS server...hence I'd say from my own experiance I'd go with a unix host; since of the installations I've done so far, all went (pretty) well.

linux and apache
