I would say any Linux server with cPanel will probably have everything you need.

A lot of people on the Zencart website will tell you that they prefer a Linux server but Zencart will also work fine on a Windows server. Since most people around here are hosting Zencart on Linux, you might be able to get a better support on the forum if you use linux.

Araunah,

Have you used both unix and windows and do you have a preference after using either?

Thanks

Re: Which is the best server to use?

Zen Cart is written in PHP and uses the MYSQL database. Linux is preferred, but the program will run on Windows with Apache.

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.
