Linux or Windows hosting

10/11/2026

A Linux account uses cPanel. A Windows account uses Plesk. PHP, a database and mail exist on both. The choice depends on which panel your software knows.

If you have ASP or a program that wants Windows, pick the Windows card. If the path you know is cPanel, the Linux card is enough. WordPress installs from Plesk only when Toolkit is on. The cards are on the hosting page.
