As far as dedicated servers, I think it really depends on what you are going to use it for. If you are hosting mainly a php/mysql based site, stick with linux. If you require .net or mssql you're going to have to go MS.

Also include your budget please.
I may suggest a host that suits my budget but maybe too budget a host for you.

Hello
You should recognise what do you want to do on your machine.
For hosting you should go with Linux Machines. If you have more advanced requirements like SQL DataBase, Media Streaming -> go with Windows. Remember that linux is cheaper than win, so that will improve your budget status.
Good Luck !
Hope you can find suitable machine.

Such lies, enterprise servers only move to Oracle when the needs grow as Oracle can handle more users. That doesnt make it "better" though, as for such a fee you expect amazing performance.

There are nothing better than orracle which managed big Data Base System - we do have servers which manage whole company structure - Linux will be not able to do it better ...

For around $100/mo, Many companies provide P4 around 3.0ghz for that budget. Dont get a celeron, that's just wrong.

As others said, it all depends on what app your running on the server. Unless the E-Commerce app your running calls for .NET or MSSQL you should probably go with linux.

With a $110 budget, go Linux, spend your money on a more powerful server instead of the Windows license.
In a general sense it boils down to your requirements and what you are comfortable with.
