    What are the types of shared hosting? Suppose I am using a Windows Hosting, but on my PC I am using Linux, does it matter?

    Well it really doesn't matter if you're using Linux or windows for shared.
    They manage everything for you.
    If you're going for VPS then you need to worry about it.

    Linux is always much faster, safer and cheaper than windows. But if your site needs windows, you can't run it in a linux environment.

    There are different types of shared website hosting, which can cover different areas and services that a site may require to be able to run. The owner of a website might choose to disperse the hosting of the services which they require for their website for extra redundancy; in most cases this is done because the website is ‘mission critical’ and they want to minimize the amount of downtime as much as they possibly can – but might not be able to afford a dedicated hosting server or a clustered website hosting package. These different types of shared hosting also allow for people to only host what they need to host; for example a customer might only require email hosting, and not actual website hosting – this means that all they have to do is choose a shared email hosting plan that matches their specifications. One thing to note is that most shared hosting plans, whatever the type, provide some sort of DNS hosting in some way or another; without the use of a DNS server or servers, any service related to your website won’t be able to run – for example, you won’t be able receive any emails without the use of DNS because the email servers for your domain won’t be findable since your MX (mail exchanger) DNS records can’t be found since you don’t have any DNS servers attached to your domain. Examples of different types of shared website hosting are the following sections.

    Shared hosting can be of two main types - Windows or Linux - Ideally Linux is the best system (unless your site files are can only run on Windows) - Oh and it does not matter what you are running on your computer - you can still select Linux - ive seen a lot of my clients selecting Windows servers because they think it means what PC platform they are using.
