Windows hosting is more expensive, less dependable, less well supported, and less capable than Linux. Unless you are running applications (such as ASP or .Net, or use MSSQL) that absolutely require a Windows server and/or database, stick with Linux.

Note that some Windows services (e.g., ASP) may be available on a Linux server for extra cost (work-alikes such as Chilisoft). If you’re going to pay extra for something like that, you might want to go ahead and go 100% Windows, just so there’s no question about compatibility.

Windows and Linux often use two different web server applications. Windows sites use the Windows IIS server, while nearly all Linux sites use Apache.

Linux sites focus on PHP, Perl and other open-source script languages for server side scripting. Windows-based sites use ,NET and ASP technologies. They might also offer support for PHP.

Linux sites offer MySQL as the database for backend content storage. Windows sites will probably offer SQL Server, though some offer the Windows versions of MySQL as well.

There shouldn’t be any difference between the two if you use strict web standards in your HTML. However, you need to be aware of the fact that, since Dreamweaver is a Windows-only product, it may insert some non-standard things into your HTML. Frontpage also does this.

JForex, the Java based trading platform of Dukascopy, requires large memory requirements and they are recommending minimum 1GB of RAM.

While JForex still runs with 512MB of ram, but it could close itself when it is running out of memory. Closing itself means your Expert Advisor (EA) or Strategy will not able to open/close your trade and could make you lost huge amount of money $.

So, if you are to run JForex with strategy or EA, I would strongly recommend you to use a reputable and capable VPS hosting, doesn’t matter if it cost a little more. Because losing a trade can cost you 100 times more.

I have come across ForexVPS and tested it for 2 months, it is quite promising at a reasonable price. I got 1GB of RAM @ $65/month. My account was hosting 2 Metatrader 4 and a JForex, no problem so far. Their technical support is good, uptime and performance is good too.

There is option for 2GB ram too, at $115/month which I think it is great if I am looking at future upgrade.

Of course, you can opt for Dedicated hosting @ $115/month, but unmanaged dedicated hosting might cost you time to patch the OS  and it “wasn’t properly managed” compare to VPS.

IIS 7 hosting.  

Internet Information Server 7.0 (IIS 7) is the next release of Microsoft’s flagship web server product.  IIS 7 provides a secure, easy to manage platform for developing and reliably hosting Web applications and services.

IIS 7 is a major enhancement to the Windows Web platform and plays a central role in unifying Microsoft’s Web platform technologies—ASP.NET, and Windows Communication Foundation Web services.

IIS 7 in Windows Server 2008 gives Web developers the ability to rapidly build more compelling Web solutions.

Key Features :-

• IIS 7.0 – Security – Built on the security of IIS6, IIS7 takes the security of the web server even further with built-in request filtering, rules-based URL authorization support, powerful form-based authentication, and absolute attack surface control.
• IIS 7.0 – Modular Architecture – IIS 7.0 is factored into more than 40 feature modules that can be independently installed on the box.
• IIS 7.0 – Extensibility – IIS7 enables developers to extend the Web server in many more ways. The IIS7 core web server features are built using a new set of public Web server APIs that all developers can use to extend, replace or add functionality to the web server. These APIs are available as both native Win32 APIs as well as managed .NET Framework APIs. Developers can also take advantage of IIS7’s extensibility of event logging, configuration, and administration tool feature-sets.
• IIS 7.0 – Unified Configuration – IIS7 provides developers and administrators a unified configuration system for storing all IIS and ASP.NET settings in a single XML format and includes a set of managed code and scripting APIs for accessing configuration for the entire Web platform. This new configuration system supports distributed configuration files, which can be stored along with Web site or application content. Web site and application configuration can now be stored in web.config with ASP.NET configuration, and be deployed with content.
• LINQ – The LINQ (Language Integrated Query) Project is a set of extensions to the .NET Framework that include language-integrated query, set, and transform operations. LINQ extends Visual Basic and C# with native language syntax for queries and provides class libraries.
