Got Linux?

You've probably noticed that your Windows PC tends to crash at the most inopportune times.

The issues that plague Windows on your home computer can equally impact Windows running in other environments, including web servers and, in this case, BART's ticket vending machines.

Though Windows may be a household name, if you're hiring a web development firm to build a complex application you should strongly consider a more scalable web server running like Linux instead.

Most small and medium size businesses don't have the in-house resources required to host their own complex web applications regardless of the operating system, so there's no need to panic if you don't know the inner workings of Linux.

Hire a firm you can trust to develop your site or application and let them be responsible for setting up your web server. Avoid bargain web hosting companies and let your web development firm recommend a web host you can rely on.

We work with VPS servers from Slicehost, Rackspace Cloud and Amazon Web Services (AWS) and are happy to avoid the sleepless nights that accompany bargain hosts and hosted Windows services.
