VPS Hosting plans also identify PHP. PHP is a computer scripting language for creating dynamic web pages used primarily by website developers. This popular open source program runs wonderful and with ease on a VPS Hosting account.
Hello Ms VPS, yes PHP runs very well on both Linux and Windows VPS hosted platforms. Of course if you are running solely open source non Microsoft software then you’d be far better off running on a Linux VPS hosting environment.
Of course you can run other open source software such as Ruby on Rails/ Perl/ GGI, Java servlets such as TomCAT or even .NET scripts on the Windows platforms.
Short, sweet, to the point, FREE-exactly as ifnormiaton should be!
