Globally, website servers fall into one of two categories: Microsoft Windows based or Unix based. We maintain servers running both Microsoft Windows and Linux to ensure we provide a highly robust and flexible solution to suit your unique needs.

Generally, approximately 80% of websites do not require any specific features or options specific to one platform and thus will operate normally under both platforms. Other websites require specific extensions and features only available to one of the two platforms, and thus are restricted. For example, typically websites coded in .asp or .net require the Microsoft platform to function correctly, and thus a Windows website server is required.

Typically, many website hosting providers offer both Windows and Linux platforms, however they generally charge a higher price for the Windows platform due to licensing costs and procedures. CENTORRINO Technologies typically uses Linux servers for all non platform specific websites and the Windows servers for the websites requiring the advanced features of the Microsoft platform.

Choosing the best web server platform to suit your needs is a decision best left up to your website designer as they will be aware of which coding they have used in the website, and which platforms are compatible with such coding.
