- w-ll 17y agoYou may want to use MsSql or something only available on windows
- mbreese 17y agoWas there ever? I mean, they were running Apache, PHP, and MySQL. This makes no sense to use Windows, especially when you factor in the extra costs for the instance. Sure, if you have some sort of Windows specific code you need to run, it _might_ make sense, but even in that case, it could be easier to run N Linux web facing instances and 1 dedicated Windows instance. For example, if you needed to run SQL Server, you could still access it from the Linux boxes.
