US server users may hesitate when choosing to install an operating system. They don’t know whether to choose to install a Windows operating system or a Linux operating system, and the two US server operating systems have different characteristics, so the editor of this article will start from different Let me introduce how to choose between the Windows system and the Linux system of the US server.

Choose according to the needs of the website

Users need to first determine the programming language of the US server website program. If the US server website is built by ASP, you should choose the Windows operating system, because the Linux operating system does not support the ASP language; if the US server website is built by the PHP language, then choose the Linux operating system, because on the Linux system Linux+ The Apache+Mysql framework can run PHP pages more stably. If the website has both ASP language and PHP language, then you can choose Windows operating system.

Choose according to stability requirements

Under normal circumstances, the stability of the Linux operating system is better than that of the Windows operating system. Because Linux is open source, it has fewer vulnerabilities and is less vulnerable to network attacks. Another aspect is that the Windows operating system has a powerful graphical page, but at the same time the graphical interface will occupy a lot of system resources of the US server, while the Linux operating system requires less system resources because it does not use the graphical interface, so it will run faster .

When the configuration of the Windows operating system changes, it generally needs to be restarted, which will cause the US server to be shut down for processing, while the Linux system usually does not need to be restarted. Basically, the change of the Linux system configuration can be operated while the US server system is running and does not need to be restarted. will have an impact.

Choose according to operability requirements

The Windows operating system is relatively more familiar to American server users, because the graphical interface of the Windows system is relatively simple, and it is also a commonly used system on the PC side. However, the Linux system usually uses pure commands to run, and any operation on the US server needs to be executed using genetic commands, so the operation of the Linux system will be more difficult in terms of operability.

Choose according to security requirements

Because of the open source nature of the US server Linux system, the open source of Linux is more conducive to the discovery of vulnerabilities in terms of security, and the patch update is faster, which is not available in the Windows operating system. However, the disadvantage of the Linux system is that most of the hardware and drivers developed by American server manufacturers are generally designed for Windows systems, so Linux is relatively insufficient in terms of hardware compatibility for American servers. At the same time, the Linux operating system mainly supports operating systems with network functions. , so some unnecessary network applications will be started during the default installation, which will easily cause security holes in the process.

The above is the introduction of the US server on how to choose between the Liunx system and the Windows system, hoping to help US server users in need.
