I have a windows operating system, I want to start a website.. Can i use a linux host on my OS? I'm sure i can

Q. Well, Planing on opening a video site. For people to upload videos..
And i was checking the host out . Linux hosting. I can use that on a MS machine correct?

A. You def can but I'm not sure if you can test a linux based website on a Windows based computer, locally... This may make it a bit hard to design ???

What should I know about Linux Hosting?
Q. If I use Linux Hosting, will I be able to use MS Publisher as a design template? If not, what design software do you recommend?

A. As a long time Linux geek, I have no love for anything made by Microsoft. Publisher is NOT a web design tool. Published is designed for making brochures, flyers, booklets, etc. The fact that you can convert a publisher file to an HTML format doesn't mean it's a web site tool. In fact, the HTML code rendered from Microsoft applications (yes, including FrontPage) is usually crap.

Their generated code contains a lot of proprietary stuff that's not standard in HTML, and it can cause problems between broswers.

here's what a Linux host usually has: Linux servers (Red Hat Linux is popular), Apache Web Server, MySQL for databases, and they usually support scripting languages like PHP and Perl. Some hosts will also provide support for Python and Ruby.

For web design, I always recommend a decent text editor that forces your to learn how to use XHTML and style sheets. once you have full control of how your content is built, you'll find yourself building much better web pages.

If you need a tool, try something called nVu. It's a free HTML editor that works on both Windows and Linux clients.

Learn to code in standard XHTML. Then, all your stuff will work for all clients, no matter what system you host on.

Whats the difference between Linux web hosting and Windows web hosting?
Q. Heya Please tell em what the difference is between linux web hosting and windows web hosting. I made my site by dreamweaver does that affect either of the 2 i should choose please tell me thanx!

A. Windows and Linux often use two different web server applications. Windows sites use the Windows IIS server, while nearly all Linux sites use Apache.

Linux sites focus on PHP, Perl and other open-source script languages for server side scripting. Windows-based sites use ,NET and ASP technologies. They might also offer support for PHP.

Linux sites offer MySQL as the database for backend content storage. Windows sites will probably offer SQL Server, though some offer the Windows versions of MySQL as well.

There shouldn't be any difference between the two if you use strict web standards in your HTML. However, you need to be aware of the fact that, since Dreamweaver is a Windows-only product, it may insert some non-standard things into your HTML. Frontpage also does this.

As long as you stick to accepted web standards and don't use any Windows-centric stuff in your site, you should have no problems with either one.
