Can Windows hosting and Linux hosting be replaced with Mac Os X?

Let’s admit that not many Internet users know about web hosting and servers. All they do is surf the net or play games. However, for those who use the network for business or income, it is important to learn more about these topics. Before we can know if Mac Os X can replace Windows and Linux, let’s first learn some information about these three hosting systems.

Linux hosting is web hosting, which is based on a server called Unix. This system is available in several varieties. Actually, it is widely used all over the world. Why? It is because it has features that are easy to use. The control panel for Linux is cPanel, which can allow you to manage your email accounts, domains, Fantastico, and much more. Updates for Linux are readily available. On the other hand, Windows hosting is a certain process of hosting a website through a web server that uses Microsoft Windows for its operating platform. Microsoft operating system samples include dot net, ColdFusion, HTML pages and many more. The operating platform is also very functional for active content generation and database uses. The system facilitates user navigation. The Plesk control panel is what powers the system. Plesk is perceived as the easiest to use graphical interface. The only drawback of this system is that it is not an open source application unlike Linux. Therefore, this system is more expensive to use.

Mac OS X is defined as a series of operating systems and graphical applications created, promoted, and sold by a company called Apple Incorporated. Mac OS X has several versions and the latest one in use is Snow Leopard. Apache is the one that gives power to this system. Some features and functions are similar to Windows and Linux. The disadvantage of this system is poor updating and cost. Therefore, we can say that Mac Os X may have potential as a replacement for Windows and Linux, but it does not need further development. Mac also has to compete on price and compatibility.
