Some people have misconception that since they work in windows computer, they should go for windows hosting. Since all web hosting packages comes with user friendly control panel, one can manage all aspects of hosting through this control panel. Therefore it hardly matters which operating system you use in your computer and which you choose for your web site hosting.
Some of the advantagesof chosing Linux hosting are:

2. Linux server has some of the popular features which windows server does not support like mod rewriting, cron job, etc.
3. All popular blog and forum scripts runs on linux server if at any point of time you want to add forum or blog in your site you should use linux hosting.
4. There are far greater number of open source and free scripts available which run on linux environment.
