Platform

When it comes to choosing a platform, you have 2 basic choices: Linux or Windows. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Some web hosting companies may charge a little more for Windows but if you need to use specific programs such as MS Access or ASP, you will have to use Windows. Many web designers go with Linux because of its higher speed and reliability.
