What's more cost effective, Hosting your web startup on Foss or Windows?
- by user37899
Hi,
Not coming from the windows world, I'm confused about licensing.
I think my knowledge may be out of date. Before we gave up with windows web servers (IIS 2),
we used to have to pay Client Access licence's. This worked out quite expensive.
Is it cheaper to host 1000's of users on Windows than use Free open source software tools?

This post suggests I can pay $15 a month, for unlimited users.
I certainly hope that this is unbiased view, I am a professional and use the right technology
for the right job. I hope i am not feeling the wrath of a windows (or linux for that matter) fanboy.
Perhaps a Microsoft certified Licensing person can clear this up.
Should i be recommending to startups windows servers and products over lamp?
Cheers!
