Having a website begins with choosing a website domain, like turkreno.com. After choosing a domain, the next step is choosing a website hosting provider. In simple terms, a host provides a web server that houses your information and distributes it to everyone that visits your domain name.

Difference between Windows and Linux Hosting
One of the main questions people have when first choosing website hosting is what type hosting platform they should use - Linux or Windows. And one of the largest misconceptions that most people think is that because they use a Windows PC that they are not able to use Linux. What the choice of your hosting platform comes down to is what your ultimate goals for your internet needs are. At TurkReno, we offer both Linux and Windows hosting so that no matter what your needs are we can provide you the services you require.
Benefits of Linux
While Windows is proprietary software owned by Microsoft, Linux is open source, so running a TurkReno Linux platform or server is more cost effective for both the end-user and the web host. Where Linux does have a slight leg up is speed; Linux runs processes somewhat faster than Windows and manages both memory and processes more efficiently.
Benefits of Windows
The primary reason to use a Windows server is so you have access to Microsoft's technology: the ASP.NET framework, the MSSQL database server, the Microsoft Access database management, Microsoft Exchange, and Visual Basic scripts, among other features. Most benefits of operating a Windows server is usually split into multiple license fees, so planning ahead by asking a TurkReno Internet consultant is a must.
