Farewell To Windows Hosting!

August 16th, 2009 by Walt Leave a reply »

Today was the breaking point for me. My windows hosting with Go-daddy has been terminated in favor of Linux. As most of you already know Wordpress is geared more towards Linux and the open source community but ported to windows. So inherently there are going to be issues on windows that are non-existent on Linux. I believe I ran into every problem there could possibly be with the windows port of wordpress without a solution to most of those issues. The main issue was with pretty permalinks, apparently even though Go-daddy has the windows version of the mod-rewrite rule it doesn’t work right.  Now that I have switched there have been zero issues thus far and I am completely happy. I’m just glad that’s over with. Anyone else running Wordpress on windows and running into problems? Do you think you will switch to Linux?
