About Unix Hosting
Unix hosting is the most common type of hosting offered today. Typically, hosting on a Unix platform will cost less than other platforms such as Windows, and many consider the Unix platform to be superior.
Unless you have a compelling reason to prefer a non-Unix host (e.g. using ASP or Microsoft SQL), you should probably stick with a Unix hosting plans. Almost all of the hosts on our various lists offer Unix hosting for their base plans.
In case you were wondering, Linux is a very similar operating system to UNIX. In the hosting industry, Linux hosting is basically considered to be the same thing as hosting on UNIX.
